Know before you buy
The 140-mesh polyester screen is designed to capture fine sediment, such as sand and grit, from your water supply. It is ideal for protecting sensitive equipment like irrigation valves, livestock waterers, and household plumbing fixtures from debris buildup.
The system features a clear, high-impact polymer cover that allows you to visually monitor sediment accumulation. When you see debris building up inside the housing, you can simply open the bottom ball valve to flush the system.
No, this system uses a reusable polyester screen rather than a disposable cartridge. You can remove and clean the screen periodically to maintain performance, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective long-term solution.
Yes, this unit is rated for a flow rate between 18 and 100 GPM. It is well-suited for most residential whole-house applications, provided your system's flow requirements fall within this range.
This unit features 2-inch female slip connections. You will need to use appropriate PVC primer and cement to bond the filter directly into your existing 2-inch PVC piping.
No, this Rusco filter system is designed specifically for cold water applications. Installing it on a hot water line may damage the PVC and polymer components.
