iSpring WSP50J Jumbo Spin Down Sediment Filter, Sediment Buster, 50 Micron

We had a well drilled for sprinkler purpose but our well has so much sand that has caused the sprinkler solenoids to clog up. The WSP50J filter came with a 50 Micron filter that when we ran our pump about 30 min the 50 Micron clogged up right the way. Contacted iSpring customer service (Michele) she was able to send us a 100 Micron and 200 Micron to try out. Here are some photos of our set up and comments. Picture 1 illustrates the plan for one filter with 100 Micron and the other with 50 Micron. Picture 2 illustrates amount of sands within 30 min of run-time with 100 Micron. Picture 3 illustrates amount of sediments after going through the 100 Micron and now through 50 Micron. Again, this is just 30 min of run-time. Picture 4 illustrates that we changed the drain line to garden hose and external ball valve for ease on releasing the sands and maint. One of our filter drain valve may have been damaged by the sand because the drain valve is no longer seal and start leaking water when we turn it off. It doesn’t matter which direction we have turned the valve it still leaks water. With some mod we added, the external ball valve seems to work and less costly to be replaced in the event of damaged by the sand. Note: We bent the garden hose as a loop so that the sands are trapped in the hose and not at the valve. We don’t want the filter leaking valve to cause the pressure switch and the pressure tank to be engaged and wear out prematurely. We wish the filter drain valve can withstand longer from frequent switching on/off uses. But again, this is just our well issue you may not have the same issue with your well. Bottom line is the filters are working great that we recommend to others. The customer service is excellent if you have any concerns about iSpring filter, just give Michele a shout you will be taken care of. Thanks again Michele.

i have bought 4 of these they are just the best in my opinion after i installed all the neighbors want one! the only complaint is i think they need to come with a extra o ring,

I have a whole house Pentel Big Blue, which is a well made for our well water filtration. However, the cost of replacing the filters every few months suggested to me that perhaps a screen type flushable filter inline and in front of the Pentel would significantly lengthen the string wound filter's lifespan. SO, I purchsed the WSP50J. It does everything the description says it would. I did have a problem with the knob that activates the ball valve after perhaps four full flushes, where it got stiff and became increasingly difficult to rotate. Contacting iSpring, their customer service rep Sean shipped me the entire base of the unit, just in case the valve itself was not the problem!!! And of course, that fixed everything. It's really easy to use, and having a filter than simply flushes sediment rather than requiring the expensive repeated changes is the huge bonus I was looking for. Thank you iSpring!!

From the minute you open the box the Ispring WSP50J has a look and feel of a well made high quality product. The unit allows you to use a flushing feature that greatly reduces the need for filter replacement. I plumbed mine into a PEX line and the entire install took about 2 hours and you do need access to a drain line for the flushing process. Any consumer product is only as good as its after sales customer support. The ISPRING organization support group is outstanding! I had an opportunity to deal with 2 individuals in the support group. Nick and Sean were very patient in dealing with me answering questions I had regarding operati.on of the unit. They were extremely quick in getting back to me via email within 24 hours of my correspondence. I'm sure I made the right decision with the ISPRING filter and have a product that solved my water quality issues, will have a very long life, and an outstanding customer support group that will stand behind their product.

The filter was pretty easy to to put in - the hardest part was how big it was. It's pretty heavy, which is actually great - it's very well-built and will last a long time I can see. The autoflusher works fine, actually enjoy the fact that it's a manual valve and this is just a motor. Means easy to fix. The best part was Nick and their support in general. He worked with me to get me the right sized filter, and getting the autoflusher even though we couldn't find a combo available anywhere. On top of that he got some gaskets shipped out to me when I was missing one. It's working in tandem with a finer filter after it, and this captures all the larger matter.

I should have install Spin-down 30 years ago for my well lots of iron, and lots costly filters. Internal 3/4 thread works better. I got the manual and drain into a 5gal bucket when ever I walk by and dump it outside, it would have ended in the septic... The lever could have been longer, tough to turn with fingers

It does a great job protecting my downstream filters from clogging prematurely. It does what it claims to do! I had this professionally installed by a plumber and now I’m wondering how I will dismantle this when the mesh eventually clogs. There are no instructions or videos on how to do this. Instead, you’re referred to the assembly instructions, which are a diagram. Sorry, but that doesn’t explain how to do it. Or, you’re told to call them. They’ve been selling this product for years, so why is there still no video or clear instructions on how to clean the mesh???? Come on, just get it done! Edit: After just 2 weeks of use, I’ve had to buy a 100 micron mesh because the 50 micron mesh clogged too rapidly. I have a well. I’m not happy that it cost me nearly 100 dollars to do so.

The concept is great, but mechanically, it is rough. After about a year, the drain valve broke. And the multi valve on top never worked out of the box. Maybe I got a dud, but I wish someone else would make a similar sized unit.
