iSpringFWSP50SL Spin down Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge, chrome

I like this filter. Even though it can be cleaned I still ordered a replacement so I can install a fresh one while cleaning the used one. (When you have the filter out you have no water to clean it).When I found out that my 100 micron filter did not filter the fine sand I asked advice on this and the company send me a 50 micron one which I did not test as yet.For most applications the 100 micron will do just fine but I am getting water from a brook and with high water and much turbulence I get a lot of very fine sand.The contact with the manufacture was fast and smooth. NICK helped me with my concern and I must say that he gave me excellent service.Will buy again from this company. Thank you Nick.Update: I used the 50 micron and it does not reduce the pressure! It catches a lot of fine sand. I am amazed how much sand got through the 100 micron I used before. I can now see what is prevented to go into my water supply system.I have to flush this one once a day and remove and clean it once every 10 days or so. Little more work then with the 100 micron one but worth the effort seeing the results.I was advised by Nick re- this. He is always ready to help so Thank you!UPDATE 10 2023I read that many complain of low pressure with the 50 Micron filter.I will give you 4 things one can do........1- Plugging up often means you are preventing a lot of dirt going into your system.2- I increased the pressure of my pump from 20/40/ to 30/45 This will cause the pump to start sooner (at 30) Uses more power but.....we need the pressure is it not?3- I installed a second filter (100 Micron) before the 50 Micron to catch the big stuff so that does not plug up the 50 Micron premature.4- I ran a line from before the filters that runs to the outside tap where I do not require filtration.. This gives me Max. pressure for watering the garden etc.I got a lot of help from Nick at ISpring on this.Thank you Nick.

I set this up with an automatic flush with a yard sprinkler controller. I set it up with a daily 3 minute flush by keeping the valve open on the bottom and use the controller as the valve that opens to flush. Works awesome. I already had a drain field to pipe it to. So it was easy. Could of just piped it out of the pump house just as well. Didn’t want a ice field in the winter though. Great filter though.

Satisfait

I originally purchased an iSpring spin-down filter housing with 50 micron cartridge my well and installed it ahead of a 'big blue' type sediment filter. Not surprisingly, the 50 micron mesh accumulated sediment too quickly, reducing water pressure. I installed ball valves on both sides so it's easy to clean, but I decided to switch to 200 microns so I don't have to clean so often. I got the one with Siliphos to mitigate against scale.Many months later, I noticed the spin-down drain valve wasn't working. I removed the cartridge and noticed it only had two 'ears' to hold it in place (it's supposed to have four). Apparently the two ears bent under pressure, allowing the cartridge to slip past it's nominal position and bottom out in the bowl, thus blocking the drain. Moreover, this left a large gap at the top, allowing some amount of water to bypass the filter. I straightened the ears with needle nose pliers, but two ears are simply not strong enough to hold the filter in place under pressure.I contacted the manufacturer for support. It's not clear how I ended up with a two-ear cartridge... one possibility is that Amazon screwed up by substituting a poorly designed knock-off, perhaps an unused return? iSprings could have passed the buck to Amazon and I would have been out of luck since it was way past the 30-day return period. Instead, Nick happily replaced my cartridge. In fact, he sent two -- one with Siliphos and one without, as there's some question about the usefulness of Siliphos ahead of a water softener, as is the case in my installation. Thanks, Nick!

I installed this filter in my water well system. I do like how it is made but i should of done a little more research and bought the 100 micron filter. I get fine silt and sand in my water and this 50 micron seemed to plug quickly. This is not the manufacturer or filter itself. I figured a 50 would be enough. I would recommend this if you have well water issues.
