iSpring WSP50GR Reusable Spin Down Sediment Water Filter, 50 Micron with Built-in Housing Scraper, 360° Rotatable Head, Pressure Gauge, Blue

I use a well for all of our household water needs, a home with 3.5 baths and 5 individuals living and using lots of water. I had a single large whole house water filter, with cartridges that are 10" tall and 4" in diameter. We do not use any water softener and there was nothing between the well pump and the main whole house filter, except for the expansion tank, before I installed the iSpring WSP50GR. I was having to change the whole house filter cartridge ($24 each) every month, instead of the advertised three to six months, due to sediment which restricted water flow.I did research and settled on the iSpring WSP50GR. I am not a plumber, but I am capable, so I was not intimidated to cut the main water line coming into the house to install the iSpring WSP50GR filter. Once installed, we were able to notice the change right away. I could see, through the clear housing, when I needed to simply trust he quarter turn valve, which then back flushes the sediment. I have learned that I need to do this every 4 to 6 days, depending on how much water we use.Even before I can "see" the sediment in the clear housing, we can fell a decrease in water pressure. I go downstairs, back flush the filter for 3 to 5 minutes, with a tube I ran from the bottom of the filter to a slop-sink a few feet away, and once done, the water pressure is back to normal, with an added bonus of now I only have to replace the main filter twice a year. The iSpring WSP50GR paid for itself after less than a year.We have had this installed since September 2020 and it has been great. I have followed the directions and maintenance guidelines, which indicate that the filter housing and stainless steel mesh filter be removed every so often and cleaned. The filter package came with extra o-rings as well, to make this process easier.However, recently, when I did the filter housing and mesh filter maintenance and cleaning, the o-ring was no longer viable as it was stretched out. I thought I still had one left, but I did not. I tried to find out what size o-ring was needed (2" ID btw) but could not find this. I called Nick at iSpring and explained the problem. Nick was kind enough to stand behind the product and he sent me 2 additional o-rings, which were delivered in 2 days, at no added cost to me.So, in review, filter is a money saver. It is easy to install, even for a non-plumber like myself, although if you are not familiar with soldering and plumbing, call a licensed plumber to install this, and it is very easy to use. Oh, and the customer service when you call iSpring, is top notch. Thanks Nick for your attention and great customer service.

I cannot say enough about the iSpring filter system I purchased (Well I am going to say a lot, sorry). I purchased the iSpring WSP50GR. I was a little apprehensive due to the low price, boy was I wrong! I moved to the mountains of Colorado from the suburbs. I now have a well and noticed when I moved in that there was fine black/tan particles in my toilet tanks. I also found the shower heads and sink strainers were partially plugged with the same sediment. Basically everything in the house had sediment in them causing low water pressure. I was also concerned about the amount that was getting into my drains and the possibility of them getting restricted flow. I did extensive research and found this filter system on Amazon. I installed it using shark bite connectors for the copper, thus no need to solder the fittings. It was an easy installation and I had immediate results that were amazing. After cleaning out all the strainers and even the toilet tanks, not my favorite part, everything was now flowing as it should with no sediment issues. It filters the large amount of sediment from my well so efficiently that I have to clean the screen every week, this is not difficult as it can be done in under 30 seconds. After about a year I wanted to replace the filter as I lean toward the OCD spectrum. I could not find the included wrench to change the filter. I emailed iSpring and received a quick response from Sean. He was more than willing to help me and sent me another wrench for free. Thanks again Sean! I would highly recommend this filter system for any use.

When I decided to replace my 19-year-old whole house filter (the handle was getting hard to turn), I added a pre-filter to the system. I did my research and landed on the iSpring WSP50GR spin-down filter. I chose this model because of the rotating head, although in hindsight it was not needed for my particular application and I could have done without it.The unit has a heavy-duty brass head, which has some heft to it, so I knew it would be able to take the 1" brass PEX fittings I wanted to use. The filter comes with a flimsy support bracket which is total garbage. The filter itself simply rests on top of the arms and is not positively attached to the bracket in any way. The arms of the bracket also interfered with the inlet/outlet fittings and ended up being thrown away.I didn't notice when I was researching the unit that the gauge measures water pressure in megapascals (mPa), not PSI (the one picture on Amazon of the gauge face is very small). mPa is the metric standard outside of the USA while PSI is the imperial standard used in the US. When I contacted customer service to inquire about obtaining a PSI gauge, I was told the unit only came with a mPa gauge. Undeterred, I thought I could just remove the white plastic cowling from the filter, unscrew the mPa gauge, and replace it with a 1/4" base glycerin-filled PSI gauge. Wrong! The pressure gauge included with this unit does not have a 1/4" base, it's smaller. So I was forced to reattach the mPa gauge and print out some conversion numbers so I would know what the PSI equivalent was.Overall, the unit seems sturdy and was easy to install. The bracket is garbage and the filter should come with a PSI pressure gauge, not mPa. Time will tell how it holds up to city water at approximately 67 PSI (or .45 mPa).

"Great filter with versatile mounting options and solid build quality. I did encounter a few issues initially, but customer service was prompt and resolved them immediately. I was so satisfied that I purchased a second one for my outdoor irrigation
