Rusco/Vu-Flow 1 100 Mesh Spin Down Sediment Water Filter System

We have had this installed for about a week a now. It works better than expected. Thats the good news, and the bad news. Our water is crystal clear, but we have a lot of sand in the water from the well so I have to clear out the filter once a day. Prior to purchasing this, we spent a lot of money replacing shower, tub, sink valves and spouts due to the sand build up. This will help a lot with that. It does work, and since it works, if you have sediment in your water, you will have to clear the filter as frequently as the sediment builds up so install it in the most convenient place that you can for clearing the filter. PROS: It works great! CONS: It works great!

Took all sand out of water

I am pushing about 12 gal/min through this. I have 2 sediment traps in the line because this didnt seem to stop much. Both have a 100 mesh screen. The 2nd trap stops more than this. I was going to change to 100 mesh followed by a finer mesh but not sure I can do that now.

This is easily the best value for spin down filters. Ive had it installed for a few months now and it has worked perfectly. I flush it about once a month. No leaks or cracks. I would highly recommend this.

The reason I only gave this three stars and not more is because the filter worked awesome until the inlet nut cracked after 24 hours and practically flooded my basement.

Im on well water that has a lot of manganese in it. I put two of these sediment filters upstream of a Big Blue 20 DGD-2501 filter and they extend the filter element life two of three times. I do use the flushing feature fairly regularly (once a week or more in the rainy season) At first I had 100 and 250 mesh screens in these housings, but have stepped it up to 140 and 500 screens to see if I can extend the filter life even more. I great product that does exactly what I wanted. Running the washing machine is where I really see whats going on. However, if I had to do it over again, Id get the bigger housing (1.5 inlet & outlet, vice 1) to see if it would increase flow when the screens were getting plugged.

Installed when we replaced our pressure tank. Works great to remove sediment from the water system. Very easy to flush.

This worksgreat. If you are not handy with home plumbing, however, you may need to hire someone to install it. Not that it is hard, but its not the project to start out your career with. Once it is in, your sand-from-the-well problems stop. Your faucets will thank you!

Had to change my Whole house filter every month due to fine sand up to the top. Was a struggle to pull out the filter with all the sand. Installed this sucker and now I change my filter ever 3 month with only a tiny bit of sand on the bottom of the screw on filter container. Tough Construction, ball valve is nice. Have to be a super clutz to break this thing. Spray the sediment into a bucket every day or two or three. Put the mesh filter in a bucket of fresh water before I turn off the system and brush the sand off.

Great product. I bought this to replace an old one, because we had to re-plumb our pressure tank.
