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

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

Seems to work fine. I drain it one time a week. I don`t know why I need more words. How long can you talk about a filter.

A+

No 1/2 valve in box, had to buy one from the big box store. Not what was described or pictured

Used it for my outdoor hydro farm that kept getting junk in it that fell from trees and would then clog my sprayers. This has worked wonders and kept it from getting in. Only problem with it is algae growth due to sunlight but thats not a problem with their product.

I was having a problem with the hose connector filter on a watering timer becoming clogged regularly with sediment particles from my well. I bought this Rusco sediment filter to precede the timer and clear the sediment before it got to the timers filter. It was not initially successful because it turned out there was a lot of very fine sediment and this was clogging the Rusco with its 100 mesh filter unnecessarily and needing to be cleared almost daily, although the very fine sediment would not have been a problem to the timer and would have passed its filter. I replaced the 100 mesh with a 40 mesh filter in the Rusco and it now does the job of protecting the timer perfectly.

Next time I would get less restrictive mesh screen. Water pressure is too low.

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.

The reverse flush valve never worked properly and was difficult to turn. Eventually the valve handle broke and the valve had to be replaced.

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!
