Whole House Spin Down Sediment Filter — clear, durable pre-filter that prevents sediment and debris from entering your home plumbing and appliances. Key benefits Protects plumbing and appliances: traps sand, rust, sediment, calcium particles, lime colloids and other large impurities before they reach washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and water purifiers. Improves water quality for everyday use: cleaner water for drinking, boiling and household tasks by removing visible and abrasive particles. Low-maintenance and reusable: flushable design with front siphon flush and backwash—no disassembly required for routine cleaning. What makes it stand out Double-deck 40 micron food-grade stainless steel mesh: captures particles 40 microns and larger (approximately half the thickness of a human hair) while maintaining flow. 316 stainless steel filter element: durable, corrosion-resistant core for reliable filtration and easier cleaning. High-strength transparent housing: resists impact and freezing stress, with burst pressure rating over 725 psi (5 MPa) for added safety and durability. Brass valve head: robust, long-lasting valve for reliable flush and backwash operation. Built-in flush/backwash valve: simple monthly backwash through the sewer valve—cleans without opening the housing and saves cleaning time. Design allows tracking of each cleaning interval. Function and compatibility Designed as a whole-house pre-filter to install on the main water inlet, upstream of water heaters, softeners, RO systems and point-of-use purifiers. Compatible with municipal and well water systems to intercept large particulate matter such as sand, rust flakes, worm eggs and lime colloids. Flexible installation connections accommodate standard plumbing setups; filter element and housing support repeated cleaning cycles. Performance highlights Effective mechanical filtration at 40 micron rating with double-layer mesh for improved capture efficiency. Reusable stainless steel mesh avoids disposable cartridges and reduces ongoing filter costs. Transparent shell lets you visually inspect collected debris and monitor filter condition. Frost protection features and robust materials increase reliability in colder environments (see product specs for installation temperature limits). Typical applications Whole-house inlet: install at the main water supply to protect all downstream appliances and fixtures from sediment damage. Pre-treatment for water softeners and RO systems: remove coarse particles that can clog or shorten the life of downstream equipment and membranes. Rural or older municipal supplies: ideal where incoming water contains visible sand, rust, or other large debris, or where occasional high-sediment events occur. User tips Flush by opening the sewer valve monthly or as needed; no disassembly required. Inspect the transparent housing periodically to confirm when backwash is necessary. Record cleaning dates to maintain routine service intervals and ensure consistent protection.
