iSpring WSP-50SL Reusable Whole House Spin Down Sediment Water Filter Softener, Includes Siliphos Helps Prevent Scale and Corrosion, 1" MNPT + 3/4" FNPT, 50 Micron

I added this filter to an Express Water Heavy Metal Filtration System based upon recommendations of reviewers of several makes of filter systems. I was amazed how much water is released from the clean out sessions of the spin out mechanism. Based on recommendations I opted for the 50micron filter. I am filtering well water that tested for high water hardness (425 ppm), and negative for other targeted problems. The filtered water has brought good tasting and clear and clean water to our house. I chose the spin down filter with the Siliphos to reduce scaling. It is located in front to the 3 part filtering system, and an ISpring Electronic Descaler is added after the 3 part system. The ISpring spin down filter is an integral part of a system I am completely pleased with.

This is a surprisingly "beefy" little unit - heavy duty glass container with heavy brass top and well constructed filter which is fairly easy to clean. Simple and straight-forward installation which was quite easy (they even provided some Teflon Tape!). Overall, I'm very impressed with this unit so far and will buy another for my camp house assuming I've encountered no problems after 3 months constant use (only been 40 days since I installed this). I installed this unit ahead of my cartridge filters and there is no doubt in my mind that it will significantly extend their life based on the amount of contaminants/sediment it has already prevented from reaching them - UGH!!!. I purchased the unit with the "Siliphos" filter because I have EXTREMELY hard water and the "Siliphos balls" inside the filter are supposed to help reduce hardness. I can't honestly say just yet how effective they are in reducing hardness and scale because I believe this might take some time to truly be effective. I'll update this aspect of my review after 90 days or so use. My only complaint with this unit is that I wish a mounting bracket were included or at least available for purchase to support it. There's no issue if you are installing it in rigid piping of any kind that is properly supported on either side of this unit BUT if that is not the case and one or both sides are connected to flex piping, the installation doesn't appear as neat and professional. I've not experienced any leaks so far, but it is a concern in the back of my mind over time as the piping is already sagging and I'm trying to determine the best way to support it (ie; can't strap pipe directly to the wall because you need room around the filter to be able to use the supplied wrench to remove the filter canister. I'll add some photos of my solution for this (assuming I find one).

Good quality product. Flexible pipe made installation easy.

Excelente filtro, fácil mantenimiento y lo mejor es que se puede detectar cuando se acumulan sedimentos, el filtro es lavable permitiendo manter limpio el sistema. Es cierto que el costo es mayor que un filtro normal, pero los beneficios son mucho mayores, una buena compra.

I purchased this product to reduce sediments before the water enters my 3-stage filter system. Great support and a Great product.
