Questions and Answers for ISPRING 100-Micron Flushable and Reusable Spin Down Sediment Water Filter, 1 in. MNPT 3/4 in. FNPT

A:  Hi Jeff, For wells, I would recommend the 100 micron. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  This filter has a 20 gpm flow through so even though a 1-1/2 pipe has about 80 gpm capacity you will still get a 20 gpm flow through.

A:  Hi DavT, Yes you can install on 1.5" pipes. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  Hi Jeff, Yes but the system should be insulated or protected from the outdoor elements like Sun, Wind, Rain, Etc. to protect the system. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  Hi DSWB, This is a sediment strainer or filter that fills up with sediment and then is flushed out. SO the filter is not replaced the same as the pleated filter would or as often. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  I have this filter in the front of 2 in-line whole house filters. I can see if there is a buildup of sediment in the filter. I can block in the filters, by-pass them and clean it out along with replacing the whole house filters. This add life to the whole house filters and my water is very pure and pleasant in our house.

A:  No, the filter must be upright.

A:  No, it’s a ‘spin down ‘ filter.

A:  Hi Superman, The WSP-50 is always installed Horizontally, not vertically. If you need a system like this we would recommend the WSP50GR or WSP100GR models. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  Hi dattmuffy, There is no headloss per micron. Please contact the office at 678-801-9308 . Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  Hi ToanLe, Yes you can install and we normally recommend to install the system before the water heater or before the pipes spit from cold to hot water. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  It works very well, I have it as the first in line with 2 whole house water filtration systems. We had a problem with the water plugging up the hot water heater on a long-term basis. This set-up cleared up the problem. Water tastes great and we noticed a better bathing.

A:  50 microns 

A:  Not going to stop the lime with filter. Maybe 5 or 6 in line sediment filters would help

A:  Hi Dave, Mineral content like Calcium and Magnesium that create lime scale are dissolved in the water and this system will not work for that since it is for sediment. I would recommend the whole house anti-scale filters such as WDS150K or WDS80K, or our electronic descaler ED2000 or ED2000S. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  Hi Dennson, We apologize as we do not sell a spin down filter for hot water connections. Only for Cold water connections before a water heater. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

A:  I installed this filter after my on-demand domestic heater and it works great. I run 140d water. I would NOT use on 180d heating water. The acrylic gets warm but not hot. Its catching all kinds of flash scale b4 the appliances. Product is great quality.

A:  Hi RocMD, You can use traditional copper 1" fittings, or you can use push fit or shark bite fittings as well. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC
