Rusco Sediment Filters Defined By Durability

For nearly 40 years, Rusco sediment filters have earned the reputation of being the most durable sediment filter of choice — and for a good reason. From the very beginning, Rusco filters were designed to be an easy-to-maintain sediment filter. If you're asking yourself 'What is a Sediment Filter?' check out the video below.

Patented Spin-Down Technology

The spin-down filter is designed to capture large particulates like sand or rust. Water travels through the top of a spin-down filter and spins in a centrifugal motion causing the dirt and debris to be pushed to the outside of housing, settling at the bottom. 

Clear Cover

The clear cover on Rusco Spin Down filters make it easy to see when it's time to flush the filter. Rather than scheduling a flush with no insight into if the filter is full (or has been for some time), you can react to seeing sediment building in the filter.

Simple Flush with Ball Valve

When it’s time to flush the Rusco Spin Down Filter, simply open the flush valve to remove the sediment. Flushing can be done with no need to remove the spin-down housing meaning there is no down-time.

Reusable Filter Screens Mesh 

This is key to Rusco’s long-lasting filters. The polyester and stainless steel screens can be removed and cleaned, rather than discarded. This means your filter does not need to be replaced every time it’s become full of sediment. In addition, because the filter is removable, you can experiment with different mesh sizes depending on the size of the sediment you’re intending to remove.

Every decision made when designing Rusco Spin Down Filters was made to ensure they would withstand the heavy-lifting filtration requirements. Often times Rusco Spin Down Filters are placed at the front end of a filtration system in order to prevent sediment from damaging appliances, hot water heaters, or other internal plumbing applications.

Are you tired of constantly replacing your home sediment filter cartridge? Buy a spin-down filter instead.

If you’re aware of the impact that sediment in your drinking water can have on you, you probably own some sort of a sediment filter or at least are thinking about purchasing one. You may not know though that there are a variety of options when it comes to picking a filter in order to keep your water clean. Aside from factoring in what filter on the market will best take care of your in-home filtering needs, the number one thing you’ll probably be considering is what is the most cost-effective option for you.

Filtering Arsenic from Well Water

If you’re dealing with a well, odds are that your water is not completely free of debris and sediment, and while some things may be harmless, there are certain contaminants that can have adverse health impacts, such as arsenic.

What is a Micron and How Does Mesh Size Correlate

When it comes to a Rusco filter, there are a few things you’ll want to consider before implementing one into your system. Determining what size filter you’ll need based on the inlet and outlet, as well as factoring in the number of GPM running through your system is something that should be taken into consideration. You’ll also want to know whether or not the filter is needed for hot water or cold water application. Depending on where the filter will be placed within your system, you may need to select one that doesn’t have a T-body and instead select an option with an L-body or a combo body. Figuring out what micron size you need for your filter screen is also something important to consider.
