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

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.

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.

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

The 100 mesh filter is a little much for irrigation,youd be better with 40 or 60 mesh.

Im on a well system and this does a good job of filtering out the sand. Im using it outside to filter the water on a hose so that I can use the sprayer and sprinklers without them clogging up. Im confident enough to use this filtered waster to wash the car. The drain make it easy to dump the sand periodically. Nice product and I plan to add one to my house as a pre screen to my whole house filter.

Sprinklers were clogging due to sediment from well. This solved the problem. You do need to clear the trap regularly depending on how much its catching or pressure will drop behind it as it becomes clogged. I setup a little solenoid that drains the trap on a regular basis and it works great. No more clogged sprinklers.

THIS IS HELPING WITH THE SAND COMING FORM OUR WELL FOR OUR LAWN SPRINKLER SYSTEM, PURCHASED A SECOND ONE JUST IN CASE

It does the job as it is designed to do.

Giving it 5 stars because it works. Clogs in 5 minutes, but thats my well. Going to try adding a disk filter to pre-treat it.

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.
