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

It does filter very well. I changed the pvc valve to a brass valve to make it easier to turn. The pvc valve is a bit harder and other reviewers mentioned breaking the housing with it. It does not self clean at all tho. I take it apart each time.

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

Item shipped fast and as described, complete with filter, valve and thread tape. Quality product, best thing is, its made in the USA, in central Florida even.

This works great and is a must have for any well system before water hits a whole house filter. I used them on two well installations.

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.

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.

Works exactly as advertised

works fine like I expected

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.

Turned out this was unnecessary for my application (water purification in Puerto Rico). I thought this would help eliminate the thicker particles but it turns out that this will just reduce your water pressure with no noticeable improvement in water quality. Luckily it wasnt terribly expensive so I just gave it to a friend who lives in a location with rougher water.
