SimPure 100/500 Micron Spin Down Sediment Filter, Reusable Whole House Sediment Water Filter, Pre-Filtration System for City/Well water, 1" MNPT + 3/4" FNPT + 3/4"MNPT, BPA Free

Installed unit on home water line, I have my own well. Used supplied 40 micron vs 200 micron filter because next filter in line is a spun rope filter which removes finer particles. This unit pulls the larger particles out prior to the finer filter and makes that filter last longer. So easy to clean out, a quarter twist of valve at bottom blows out all debris and sediment. Internal design causes a turbine action inside filter and you can watch it flushing itself clean. Light weight, can be installed inline without a support bracket. Unit has no mounting points for a bracket, however, with two hardware store U bolts and a hunk of right angle steel I was easily able to make a mount for it (only because of my system & location did I need to do this). Note unit is not to be used outside or in direct sunlight locations. Solid brass with polycarbonate bowl, two stainless steel filters included, brass pipe fittings, and a wrench for loosing bowl included. Nicely packaged.

I installed this pre-filter ahead of my whole-house system (where replacement filters run about $200 each), and it’s been an absolute game-changer. Here’s why:Extends Filter Life: Captures sediment and debris before it ever reaches the main filter, so I’m no longer replacing those expensive cartridges every few months.Built-Tough Construction: Heavy-duty housing with leak-proof seals—no pressure loss, no worries.Easy Installation & Maintenance: Clamps on quickly to existing plumbing and the cartridge swaps out in seconds.Immediate ROI: Paid for itself by preserving one expensive filter already—best investment I made in my water system.Room for Improvement:None—this unit delivers exactly what it promises. I have zero suggestions!

It's working, only knock is this is not brass only colored to look that way so don't expect a lifetime of use.

Throughout the installation process I found this pre-filter to be of decent quality. I ordered a 3/4 in and I received a pre-filter that had 1 in MNPT connectors on the housing and it included a screw-on coupling type connector that turned the 1 in into a 3/4-in MNPT connection. The most puzzling part of installing using the 3/4 in coupling connectors was the lack of material to be able to tighten the couplings into the rest of the existing pipe architecture. I came to these reviews several times seeking advice from other people and I didn't see any solution but I did see that there were a few others that were confused like I was and were experiencing the same issue. So I will pass on this tidbit of information. The 3/4-in couplings can be tightened quite well by using a special wrench that goes inside the lumen of the 3/4-in connectors. Inside the lumen you'll see that there is two opposing ear like structures. I included a picture of the wrench that you'll need in order to be able to tighten these connectors with appropriate torque. I went to my local plumbing store and was introduced to this new tool as I had never used one before. I used the fork end of the pop out plug wrench and was able to adequately torque down the connectors. I hope that helps anyone else like me that was looking for a hand up. I haven't finished my system yet, if something changes my feeling about this pre-filter filter I will update my review but as of right now, I think it's a great value for the money.

So far seems to work well. Still playing with which filter to use with our well/rainwater, the 200 or the 40. Installed without any issues as long as you have everything you need to install it, fittings that might be needed that aren't included. It is easy to clean/flush, but for my use, I think I need to add a hose mount otherwise it will spray like a lose hose and go all over. Works well and can see it in the clear housing.

We have used this as a pre-filter for our new whole house filtration system. It has only been a couple of weeks, but this definitely works very well and we would highly recommend it. We see a lot of the bigger sediment from our well water being removed with this pre-filter.

I’ve had this filter for over six months now zero complaints. Scary to see what’s in your water until you look in the bottom of the settlement filter after a few months. Opened the valve and it drained out instantly. I actually also put one on my garage to filter my car wash hose water also. A lot of different ways to configure the plumbing fittings and luckily he was able to find the adapters I needed at Home Depot.

Well designed, easy to install
