Waterdrop Spin Down Sediment Filter, Backwash Whole House Water Filter System for Well Water, 40-50 Micron, 1" MNPT + 3/4" FNPT + 3/4" MNPT, Traps Sand, BPA Free, WD-RPFK

This is a quality product and I suspected it was a soon as I picked up the box. I guess I’m kind of old-school when it comes to plumbing products, if it feels heavy enough to be exhibit A in a murder trial, it’s probably OK. The primary housing is a quality piece of cast brass expertly machined to appropriate standards. It comes with fittings, allowing you to convert it from 1 inch to three-quarter inch and as an extra bonus it comes with two shark bite, three-quarter inch adapters. These easy to use push connectors cost $10 apiece if you go to buy them separately. The ball cock on the bottom serves as an easy clean function, and also will release the pressure on the system in case you want to take it apart to give the filter a more detailed cleaning. The filter is a permanent one made of stainless steel or some closely related alloy.Things you should know; first it’s a clear housing in a high impact quality plastic. This allows you to visually inspect the filter to see if it needs a flushing. However, if it’s in direct sunlight, it can turn into kind of a terrarium, and you’ll get algae growth. You can solve that by draping an old towel over it. The other thing you should know is it’s not really a filter it’s a pre-filter. It is a 50 µm built-in system. It will handle dirt, fine sediment, bits of sand even rust, but it’s not going to take out absolutely everything. Depending on your situation and the quality of water, it might be fine by itself or you might want to follow it with a different system down stream with a 1 or 5 µm filter to really do the job. This prefilter will greatly extend the life of your filtration system. Make those expensive replacement filters last longer.

This is a must have if you have any sediment in your water!! We have well water. The installation was super simple, and the back was and cleaning are easy, it increased our water pressure and took out so much iron! They only thing is we need to clean it every week for best results (but that’s because we have a lot of sediment)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The product had a brass body and stainless steel strainer. It appeared to suit my purpose of removing sediment from my well water.Design:It removed the sediment, but the flow was greatly reduced. The 100 micron filter I had been using never clogged like this one. I had to reinstall the 100 micron filter to get back to a normal strainer cleaning schedule.

bought my filter last year and absolutely LOVE it, I did have an issue and the company was so helpful, excellent customer service and excellent warranty!!!I highly recommend.

Unit was exactly as described. I ordered the 40-50 micron filter which plugged up too quickly for my well water. Karina, Robbie and the rest of the Waterdrop customer service team went above and beyond to get me the filters that I needed. The fit and function of the filter was exactly as described and works perfectly.

We selected this model for the included brass fittings instead of plastic, and for the easy clean-out.A huge bonus for this brand is that you don’t have a complicated disassembly for a clean-out. The designers of this brand made it simple for the owner to do a purging backwash.I the unit came with sturdy parts, and we haven’t had any problems with it. It is attached to the mainline water connection leading into our ranch house, so it filters any sediment before it reaches our appliances or hot water heater. Since we do live on a ranch in Texas, it’s especially important that we not miss this economical step in catching sediment.We will enjoy our appliances lasting longer because of the sediment getting caught in this unit as the water flows into our home.The clear canister allows us to monitor sediment collection. It’s amazing how this little system works so well!I recommend this brand. It is sold at a reasonable price and is well worth the investment for your home/appliances to have this unit filter out heavy sediment before it enters your home. Well worth it!

Filter Screen is very fine a is easily plugged. The pipe adapter were sent with thread tape but I could not get it to not leak. Using flush valve doesn’t clear the screen much.
