Ispring Wsp-200 REUsable Whole House Spin Down Sediment Water Filter, 200 Micron Flushable Prefilter Filtration, 20Gpm, 1" Mnpt + 3/4" Fnpt, Brass

Happy with this. It looks and feels very well made with brass and heavy duty plastic

After years of replacing disposable filter cartridges every week and sometimes more often, we finally decided to try one of these spin down flushable filters. We were very impressed with the quality of the iSpring filter... straightforward installation and operation, and it works extremely well. A little too well in our case... we should have gone with the larger micron cartridge as it plugged up several times daily because of all the debris in our water supply. But we contacted customer service (US based, big thumbs up) and Julius was fantastic... they sent out the 100 micron replacement, even shipped free of charge to Canada. The larger micron cartridge works so much better for us. With the automatic flush set to once per day we have no more plugging. However, if you have a lot of debris or sediment I recommend going with the larger WSP-ARJ model which come with up to a 200 or even 500 micron cartridge. Spring and fall are worse times with our artesian well and we may need to do that yet. I wish we would have contacted iSpring beforehand and explained what we required, as I'm sure they would have advised us what was best. I must say there are not too many companies that impress me these days but this is definitely one of them. We may be expanding our water filtration system in the future and will not hesitate to buy from iSpring again, and of course highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product and service to back it up.

I have a well and was finding sand in my faucet aerators, so I got the 200 micron filter. It's a very sturdy product and works great. I had some trouble removing the filter for cleaning and received above-and-beyond customer service from Nick.

Super easy to install and works great.

Produit de bonne facture. Il a l'air très solide, et est livré avec un joint de rechange et un support. Le seul problème est les raccords utilisés qui sont coniques, et nécessites des adaptateurs pour être reliés à des raccords européens (NTP to BSP). J'ai contacté le SAV qui a été très réactif. ils m'ont envoyé un filtre de rechange en guise de dédommagement, car ils ne disposent pas dans leurs catalogues d'adaptateurs. Je remercie Francis du SAV qui a été très réactif.

This is a great filter! It is durable and super easy to clean, plus the bottom clean-out valve has also been handy for bleeding down the system when we need to work on other plumbing (an unexpected bonus). You do need to put some thought into your water conditions before selecting a filtration size though, or you can run into trouble as we did initially. I-Spring technical support helped us work through our issues (Thanks Sean!), but a picture of our filtration set-up and a brief description of the water situation are included below in case you want to learn from our mistakes (prior to making your own original ones :-). Our well water is high in iron, so we needed to install an iron filter [big black tank] to protect the plumbing and hot water heater. The very expensive iron filter required a minimum of 30 micron sediment filtration on water going in (or warranty void and {very expensive} filter life could go from 3+ years to a few months). Our well is screened in a fine sand, and tends to produce more than we would like. So we installed a high volume sediment filter [blue] with the disposable paper filters (5 – 30 microns) that have to be replaced periodically. Those paper filters, like everything now days, cost more than you would like. The better the water coming in, the longer they last, so we installed the I-spring spin-down filter [far right] to help stretch the life of those paper filters. We went with the 50 micron filter, thinking that would maximize the life on the disposable filters. Turns out that was a bad choice. Our well produced 10 gpm at the pump when it was installed last summer, but when we turned on the house system (all new construction) two months later, we were getting much less. We were afraid the well capacity had diminished due to the drought this summer, but testing with the pump and pressure tank showed it was making significantly more than what we were getting at the house. It turned out that the problem was that 50 micron spin-down filter. The amount of sand coming from our well was too much for that fine of filter, so the system lost a lot of water pressure forcing it though. After consulting with I-spring, we are now running a 200 micron mesh in the spin-down filter. It is still doing the job of removing most of the sand, but we are getting double the flow. Moral of the story, be sure to select the right size filter for your water conditions. If you aren’t sure, buy a couple of different sizes and test them out. We have mesh screens for 50, 100 and 200 microns now, and they all work in the same unit case.
