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

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

Get higher number than 100 if you have well water

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.

I added a hose bib and an Orbit hose timer in place of the pvc ball valve. Backwash automatically for one minute every seven days. regular battery has lasted over a year so far on Orbit timer.

Easy to install, appears to be keeping sand out of my irrigation system. I had to install the drain valve a second time as it was leaking. I really enjoy checking on it and seeing how much sand is being collected.

Bout to replace one I had and inadvertent broke. Works like it should.

It does the job as it is designed to do.

This is an important piece in my well filtration. Having researched many units I found this one to be the price for what I received.

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.

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!
