iSpring WSP-50SL Spin Down Sediment Filter, 2-in-1 Whole House Prefilter & Water Scale Inhibitor, Rust & Corrosion Prevention, Flushable Well Water Sediment Buster, Lead-Free, 50-Micron

I live full time in an RV and we find a variety of water quality, but I wanted something that wasn't a salt-based water softener to help protect my camper's water-based appliances. I installed this before the water pump so that it would also protect the pump. It draws the water up from the tank, through this device, and then into the pump, and then through iSpring's RV water filtration system - and then, finally, into our RV's various water outlets. It's well made and easy to install and was honestly trouble free and leak free. I had one of these installed in my house and I noted that even my tea kettle didn't end up with mineral deposits after I installed this unit. It's not a water softener, but it does help protect your appliances (think water heater, dishwasher, tea kettle, coffee machine, shower heads, etc.) while simultaneously filtering out larger debris that would have clogged said devices. No complaints here ... it's a nice, solid unit. Maybe the mounting hardware could be more solid ... I have to admit, that for an RV where you are bouncing and jouncing, you don't necessarily want your plumbing devices to be resting on top of a pair of arms. I used zip ties to fasten it to the arms, but that feels a bit bailing twine and chewing gum for my taste. It doesn't replace a nice solid mounting bracket - which is what I wish this came with. It's still a purchase that I would do again.

This is a surprisingly "beefy" little unit - heavy duty glass container with heavy brass top and well constructed filter which is fairly easy to clean. Simple and straight-forward installation which was quite easy (they even provided some Teflon Tape!). Overall, I'm very impressed with this unit so far and will buy another for my camp house assuming I've encountered no problems after 3 months constant use (only been 40 days since I installed this). I installed this unit ahead of my cartridge filters and there is no doubt in my mind that it will significantly extend their life based on the amount of contaminants/sediment it has already prevented from reaching them - UGH!!!. I purchased the unit with the "Siliphos" filter because I have EXTREMELY hard water and the "Siliphos balls" inside the filter are supposed to help reduce hardness. I can't honestly say just yet how effective they are in reducing hardness and scale because I believe this might take some time to truly be effective. I'll update this aspect of my review after 90 days or so use. My only complaint with this unit is that I wish a mounting bracket were included or at least available for purchase to support it. There's no issue if you are installing it in rigid piping of any kind that is properly supported on either side of this unit BUT if that is not the case and one or both sides are connected to flex piping, the installation doesn't appear as neat and professional. I've not experienced any leaks so far, but it is a concern in the back of my mind over time as the piping is already sagging and I'm trying to determine the best way to support it (ie; can't strap pipe directly to the wall because you need room around the filter to be able to use the supplied wrench to remove the filter canister. I'll add some photos of my solution for this (assuming I find one).

It worked well! I can see how dirty the town water is, and this filter can get rid of most of the sediment. I ordered a 50 micron one but my faucet didn't run smoothly. I emailed them, and Francis got back to me very quickly. He told me the 50 micron is possibly not compatible with the sediment volume and sizes in my water, thus 100 or 200 micron may resolve the issue. That is true, my water pressure is back to normal after I changed to a 100 micron mesh filter. Good product and awesome team.

Leaks occasionally at the drain port. The nipple/spout is loose and this is how it is designed. I have purchased 2 over the past few years. Overall I am pleased with the product and use it along side their other filters for my home well system.

This thing is awesome! if you have a well, get one, and use it.

I was a little skeptical when I first received this product and installed it ahead of a 3-stage filtration system & UV-light treatment tube, but after a month of use I am impressed with how well this filter works! I made sure to properly tighten & seal connections to prevent leaks, based on other reviewers’ experiences. It does a great job of filtering out sediment and other crap from our well water, and it is very easy to clean. Because of its smaller size, I clean it once a week to ensure best performance and proper water pressure. We have a 1-inch water line and it does handle volume quite well as long as its kept clean. Cleaning takes about 10 minutes total, as I use an old soft-bristled toothbrush and clean water in a bucket to clean it on-site, and the total time includes time to de-pressurize the supply line. This product is very well built and easy to service; I highly recommend it to anyone with a well or questionable water supply. Just be prepared to clean it every 1-2 weeks, depending upon your water quality; but in spite of this, it is worth it when you see how much clearer your water will be.

I purchased an iSpring whole house water filter system last year. It was installed by a local plumber and it's easy to maintain. I like the fact that clean water is available throughout my house so I can use it to drink and for cooking straight from the faucet. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a water filter system. Francis helped me register my system for future reference.

This is a fantastic “pre-filter” to remove sediment from my well. I purchased the 50 micron but it was clogging far too often and I had a significant drop in water pressure. I called the seller/manufacturer and spoke with Nick. He was extremely helpful and actually sent me a 100 micron filter to try for free! So far, so good! I see some other reviews mention leaking and difficulty with the teflon tape but I didn’t have any problems like those at all! The unit takes next to no space and is filtering sediment as intended! Highly recommended!

Excelente filtro, fácil mantenimiento y lo mejor es que se puede detectar cuando se acumulan sedimentos, el filtro es lavable permitiendo manter limpio el sistema. Es cierto que el costo es mayor que un filtro normal, pero los beneficios son mucho mayores, una buena compra.

We have purchased 3 of these filters. Our water is supplied by well so there is always a certain amount of sediment. We just replaced our hot water heater and wanted to protect it from sediment so we have one filter going to it, another is placed before the holding tank and another is placed just after the holding tank. That has drastically reduced any sediment. The filter is easy to clean and was easy to install. Very, very pleased with this product.

excelente producto y de material resistente , muy buena calidad

Bought this as the first stage of a whole home filter unit, this is primarily just to keep large particles from getting into my water softener and it works well. I did not notice any pressure drop when using it on 3/4” copper mainline into my house and it does build up with scale etc that comes in m[from my utility. I like it.

great filter - works well and does not reduce flow by much.
