Review on Ultimate Filtration Solution: Introducing ISpring Flushable Prefilter Filtration WSP50 by Kevin Harmon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, great well water filter!

Excellent value for money and very suitable for filtering large debris from well water! The price was comparable to plastic sediment filters that come in large boxes, so I went with this one, which seems to be heavier. I wish I had installed one of these things many years ago! I installed this after my well water pressure tank and before my forced air iron picking filter. After my forced air iron picking filter, I have a 20 inch blue water filter (5 micron), then my water softener, then another 20 inch blue water filter (25 to 1 micron), which then goes to my house. I was shocked at how much large sediment got into this filter and so glad I got it. I guess I'm extending the life of all of my other filters (which I only installed about a week before installing this filter) because this handy little thing catches all the big particles. The first photo was taken while washing. . In the second photo, the filter after washing. The last 2 pictures show some of the coarse sediment this thing filtered out (before washing). I usually have to flush it every few weeks or so (when I notice a build up). I've had it for a few months now and haven't removed the filter to clean or wet it yet as rinsing seems to help. I installed a pressure gauge before and after the filter and there is no noticeable loss of pressure. I wish I had installed one of these things a long time ago! Since I didn't have proper water filtration before (just using a chlorine injection system to get rid of the stench from the well water), I had quite a lot of scale in all my water lines. After I had all my filtration installed and before I installed a new water heater, I flushed all the water lines in the house to clean them (pumped vinegar into all water lines with a 1/4 hp transfer pump, let sit 24 hours). , then flushed all lines). Now no more garbage comes out of my water pipes and no garbage accumulates!
