Sediment filters product Info

Home and Farm Solutions, LLC is proud to offer Rusco Sediment Filters.  If you do not have an existing filter in your water system, we strongly recommend you add a Rusco Sediment Filter prior to the Scaltrol.  The Scaltrol works on a venturi principle (much like a carburetor) by pulling in the sequestrant based on the flow of the water through the unit.  This small orifice can become clogged without a filter, just like any carburetor would get plugged without some sort of fuel filter.

The Rusco ‘spin down” filter works by creating a sediment bowl where sediment is spun out of the water flow because it is unable to pass through the screening.  The sediment then settles to the bottom sediment sump of the clear Rusco base.  Since the units are clear, you can easily see the sediment build-up and know when to flush it.  The best part is there are no filters to buy month after month – just open the drain at the bottom of the Rusco filter and flush out as needed. Typically once or twice a year is all that is needed although some areas may require more frequent flushing. 

Tips:

1)     The drain is threaded so you can also add a NPT (national pipe thread) x hose adapter (available at any home center) on the bottom.  This would let you run a hose to your drain or sump pit rather than holding a bucket under the filter.

2)     Do not use tools to tighten the sediment filter.  Just hand tighten the base onto the head.
