Product Description
Product Description
The Rusco Sediment Trapper has a unique element design that traps sediment in the lower reservoir of the clear cover. The debris settles in the bottom of the clear cover away from the filter screen. The Rusco Sediment Trapper model should be used over the Rusco Spin-Down model when there is heavy sediment in the water supply. The Rusco filter system's filter screen is cleanable and reusable. The Rusco systems have a clear cover that can easily be removed for cleaning. No tools are required to remove the cover. Sediment is visible through the clear cover indicating when the filter needs to be flushed. Rusco Sediment Filters have an open ball valve to easily flush sediment. When the Rusco filter is full of sediment, simply open the ball valve to flush the sediment. Rusco water filtration systems are made from molded non-corrosive materials.

This Rusco works very well. It flushes very thoroughly when purged. You can actually see the water cycle when flushing it. It also has more room with the extra long trap. I don't like it being all plastic, but it seems to be a good quality plastic. Make sure you read the directions about installing the flush valve. It does not have to be tight, just screwed in enough to leave a few threads showing. Also, make sure you match up the arrows for the correct flow.
I also will be adding an automatic flush system using a garden hose timer. I can set this to auto flush and specific times.

Installation is doable for a DIYer comfortable with basic plumbing. Someone did some plumbing work in my house that assumed no more modifications would ever be needed so I had to get creative. Due to tight space I installed a 90 degree hose elbow to the flush valve. It made flushing much easier and I'm not worried about ruining the PVC threads connecting/disconnecting a hose. Just be careful not to muck up the threads the first time.

1) I didn't want to shell out big bucks on replacement filters. With any other kind of water filter, you are stuck forever paying for expensive replacement filters, and it's bad for the environment anyway to fill the landfill with them.
2) This is easy to service - easier than even replacing a filter. Just put a bucket below the purge valve, and it's clean in just a second. No sweat. I've done it a few times, and the sediment comes right off. Pretty slick.
3) Installation was a breeze. The 1" model is PVC Slip X Slip . So, just standard solder joint.
4) most importantly, it works. I got the #100 screen, and fortunately that seems to be good enough to remove the bulk of sediment. I was hoping not to have to put a higher # of screen on it - as that will restrict flow a bit - and with well water, pressure isn't that high anyway. Note that - you can purchase any filter and interchange later on if what you got wasn't good enough.
5) Made in the U.S.A.
I'll update later if there is anything interesting to comment on, but I am not sure I'll come up with much more interesting. Great product at a reasonable price.
