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.
Maintaining a clean filter is the best way to extend the life of your Rusco filter. In some cases, where a filter is sitting in direct sunlight, a Rusco Sun Shield® may be helpful to prevent the build-up of algae. A Sun Shield® is an easy and cost-effective way to help battle the build-up of algae.
Adding a filter to your home’s water system is a great idea if you know your water isn’t clean. When deciding on the right water filter for your situation, one of the most important things to consider is exactly how much sediment is in your water. So let's look at how we can figure out how much sediment is in your home’s water and the type of filter you’ll need to remove it.
