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

I replaced the housing because of a small leak in the discharge side of pvc joint. I’m using this as a pre filter for my sediment filtration system. This spindown filter works great. I have an automatic valve on this filter that cleans itself every day.

Took all sand out of water

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!

This is the second one we have purchased after using another one on a different water line for several years. The spin down separator has performed exactly as it should on a rural single home well system.

Had to replace the old one when I had plumbing work done. Remember female copper to PVC works not the other way around

this filter has really helped with sand issues in our well. besides keeping in line filters and water softener cleaner it has mainly helped our sprinkler heads to operate clog free.

works as advertised great

After horrible experience with a twistiiclean filter, I finally replaced with this Rusco filter. Its very well constructed; you can tell the minute you pick it up. Unlike other filters requiring disassembly for cleaning, the flush valve at the bottom is super convenient! 5 stars! TIP: I recommend getting an 90-degree elbow fitting for the bottom and attaching a short hose so that the water goes where you want it when you flush the filter.

I used this on a sprinkler pump in Florida and a week after install the filter is completely clogged with Algae. If the filter is in bright sunshine, cover the clear tube with a black inner bicycle tire tube or a black thick sock or stocking or even AC coolant line insulation. The sunlight causes the algae to grow and clog frequently. They sell a sunshade as an add-on but it should come with an opaque cover by default.

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!
