iSpring WSPARB Spin Down Sediment Water Filter, Reusable with Touch-Screen Auto Flushing Module and Built-in Housing Scraper, Brass Top Clear Housing
$252.99
About this item
- [Flushable and Reusable] The whole house spin down sediment water filter is used to create a multi-layer gradient filtration system taking considerable workload off finer filters that follow it and result in a longer filter life. As a larger, upgraded version of WSP series, WSP50ARB filters out particulate, sediment, rust, and floating objects.
- [Pressure-resistant and Durable Materials] Lead-free brass machine head, 50-micron food grade stainless steel mesh filter screen, and explosion-proof transparent housing.
- [Easy Installation] No welding or glue needed. Works well with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipes.
- [Auto Flushing] Integrated Auto Flushing Module(dual power supply) with scraper saves time and effort on routine maintenance. Choose from auto, semi-auto, and manual on HD touch screen to enable the system to flush automatically on a preset schedule. WSP series can be used for waste water treatment by spin down the sediment.
- [High Flow Rate] Provide a maximum flow rate of 25 GPM. Two types of threads on both two ends of connectors: 1-inch MNPT and 3/4-inch FNPT.

We have really bad water that has bentonite clay in it from our well water. They are doing lots of residential housing and land development in our area and the aquifer seems to be much "dirtier" than usual. We were replacing two 5 micron cartridge filters every week. These cartridges cost anywhere from $25-$30 each and we have to keep several in stock so they get expensive quickly.NOTE: In the pictures, the water flow is from right to left so the first filter is the one closest to the iSpring filter.We installed the iSpring filter according to the instructions but made 2 modifications. Instead of using the 3/4 inch Sharkbite fittings that came with the filter, I used 1 inch Sharkbite fittings to match our 1 inch pipes. Instead of using the supplied 1/4 inch drain out of the bottom of the iSpring filter, I wedged a 1.5 inch vacuum hose into the bottom of the housing which allows the filter to discharge and remove more debris faster.Our filter cartridges would get so plugged that the water pressure would drop to 10-15 psi and we had to change at least 1 cartridge and sometimes both just to take a shower.After putting in the iSpring filter, it had been several weeks and the first cartridge was pretty full of loose debris but the pressure was still in the 40-50 psi range. After changing the first filter and waiting a few days, the water pressure dropped to 0 psi on both filter housings. The pressure gauge at the water pump from the well was at 50 psi. You can see in the movie that you can rotate the housing to loosen up any debris on the iSpring filter mesh. I did not have any buildup so nothing came off. I put a shutoff valve just before the iSpring filter which turned out to be very convenient. When I turned on the discharge valve at the bottom of the iSpring filter, you can see the reason why the pressure was at 0 psi, the iSpring 50 micron filter mesh was completely clogged. I used the main shutoff valve to send water into the iSpring and then turned it off to send water from the first filter cartridge back to the iSpring filter. This turbulence allowed the buildup of debris to loosen up and flush out the bottom of the iSpring filter housing.After a month, I have only had to change 1 filter cartridge.NOTE: I have been turning on the iSpring discharge filter manually 1-2 times a day. I could probably go a few days but it is so easy to just turn it on for a few seconds and watch the debris slide off the filter mesh and into the bucket. I haul out the bucket once a week to pour into the landscaping. It is much easier, faster, and cheaper than turning off the water and changing filter cartridges. I am not using the automatic timer unit yet but I hope to figure out a good pattern and since I have a plugin nearby, it will be handy to use whenever I go on vacation.You can take the iSpring housing off to clean the metal filter mesh. This can take a while because you want to be careful no to damage the metal mesh. I contacted Nick at 123filter.com and he send me a replacement filter mesh. I wish they were available to purchase. I clean the metal filter mesh with Fast Orange microgel and a very soft toothbrush. The Fast Orange helps the bentonite clay come out of the metal mesh and cleans up almost like new as you can see in the photos. With the replacement filter mesh I got from Nick, I can replace the filter mesh with a clean one and take my time cleaning the dirty one.
