Review on πŸ” Rusco Vu Flow Mesh Filter 2 60 F: Superior Filtration for Optimal Performance by Doug Booth

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Weak point in design, handle with care

I bought a second one today because after 18 months a crack has formed on the threaded base of the transparent cover from which it is dripping. Unfortunately my water jacket with a 60 mesh filter is out of the well after 1-2 weeks, so I have to clean the filter frequently, this exposes a weak point design flaw that can rupture. The supplied red valve is very difficult to turn and puts additional strain on the weak point. Probable cause of the crack. I could only find a clear replacement cover for $75! So I decided to buy a whole new one to get a second filter. I turn on the tap every day to clear the water of dirt. It doesn't clear the filter accumulation I get. It's like a light gray cement that dissolves in 5 minutes with CLR.

Pros
  • replacement water filter
Cons
  • old
