This is an introduction to the Wheelton Spin Down filter. A whole house water filter that self cleans and has a powerful cleanout port to wash away debris. With BPA free plastics and a 316 Stainless Steel mesh screen you can expect this filter to last a long time and be safe for drinking water. Standard 3/4" NPT fittings allow you to connect the filter to your existing home plumbing. The 40 micron mesh size is ideal to remove rust, sand, and other fine particle debris often found in water. 26 gallons a minute flow rate is plenty enough to support a full family use. The wide operating temperature allows you to use the filter in a range from mid 40's up to over 100 degrees.

honestly your setup is what a good company needs, a well to really test their product and perfect it... i saw you said something about "an auto purge valve" if it works i think that's what's needed, daily auto purge

@stevenfrazier8939 10 ай бұрын

I had a similar problem coupled with high amounts of Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen sulfide. I corrected it by filling an 275 gallon IBC Tote with the well and aerating it with a Danner Pondmaster AP-20 Air Pump and a Del Ozone generator. This kills bacteria better than CL2 and converts or oxidizes everything to a filterable state. The water is sent through a 20, 5 and 1 micron cleanable polyester set of filters. The water is pump out of the tank and into the house using a 12 volt SeaFlo series 55 pump. It produces a constant 60 PSI at 5.5 GPM. I just open the valve at the bottom of the tank every so often and drain the settled stuff. All of this runs off of solar.

Nice and Honest assessment that it just doesn't work that well, that it's more work than your other 'spin down' pre-filter.

@djrrmml7514 10 ай бұрын

I think the filter should be purged daily so that there isn't too much sediment buildup. You can achieve this with a simple electric valve and a timer. We do the same here except we use a timer and valve to purge water out of our air system.

@LandtoHouse 10 ай бұрын

Another company sent an auto purge valve. I need to install that and see how well it works.

@TerrorTubbie666 10 ай бұрын

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It should automatically purge. Daily, twice a day or maybe even more often, I don't know. It's a pretty small filter and bad water, but that should not matter if it's purged often enough, I think. So the big question is: DOES this system actually work when you do this by hand? Would have been nice to see that in the video. Maybe in the next?

@travishodges5179 10 ай бұрын

Water softener in front of the filter would stop most of it, and water softeners purge often

Try the Rusco Sediment Trapper Filter works well..😊

@paulbaker3144 7 ай бұрын

I think this is the pre filter we have. Rusco. It works fairly well except we still get low water pressure at random times. I made one modification that helps. I stopped watering the trees using the house spigots and thatched the garden hose to the clean out spigot of the Rusco. That way the huge amount of water used for the irrigation is not clogging the filter. And eveytime I water the trees I’m flushing the pre filter.

@BrittCHelmsSr 10 ай бұрын

I was hoping that this was going to be a good solution for me. Since having well work done back in May of this year, I have more silt and debris that I ever have in our 50 year old well. However, after seeing your review, I think I'll be looking for a different solution that doesn't involve having to remove and use a toothbrush to clean. It looks like iSpring has a couple of units that are self-flushing and programmable - it may be worth contacting them to see about a unit for review. I think that is the way that I am going to go, and just program it to do a 30 to 60 second flush each day to keep things cleaned out.

@JCJC650 4 ай бұрын

The self cleaning is pretty cool. I'd be tempted to plumb the drain from the spin down to a motorised valve (like in central heating) - relay - timer and have it perform an automated flush every day. To prolong the life of the filter maybe consider a secondary 40-50 micron spin down with the same setup but flushing a little after the first one. You could pipe the drain outside or into a drain to avoid the mess. I think they sell automatic flush spin downs as well but that might limit the other features. That should reduce the amount of maintenance needed and reduce how often you need to change filters :)

Nice product👍🏻 try pvdf filter if possible

@martyvanord984 2 ай бұрын

IMO the spinning has the potential to really self-clean the filter. It also adds a wear process like a turbo on a car, that an o-ring may not be able to accommodate. I like the 2-inch RUSCO spin-down. The replacement filters are affordable. I keep an extra to swap out and clean the clogged one under water pressure. It is then ready to swap. because of opening the filter, food food-safe o-ring lube used sparingly may extend its life. New o-rings are cheap and available.

@mistken-ju1zf 10 ай бұрын

Seems this spin down sediment filter works well and easy to clean the system by using the flush valve at the bottom, maybe perfect for tap water

@workbenchz 10 ай бұрын

It was a nice try and seemed to have promise with the rotor to agitate the debris to get them to precipitate down off the filter. What you really need for a pre-filter is one that has a BACKWASH, reversing the flow through the filter material to clear it. Perhaps look into swimming pool sand filters.

@stevenfrazier8939 10 ай бұрын

Seth, what if you build something like you made to trap silt for your water turbine. It will have a chance to settle out the heavy stuff. You could have a big drain to remove the sand.

Good nice prodect you should use union to conect this filiter to make sure it stand verticalley to spin it smoothly and all sand fill down diretlly then if you want can use (timer valve) to flash the system automatically by open and close drain, lets say daily in your case and i hope every thing will be good

This would not work for a spring water collected in my ranch, right? As the water from it is clear, but has some sediment I would like to use a filter like this do remove those sediments before the water goes to the initial tanks (before being pumped up to the house tank)

@torasfishroom 3 ай бұрын

man if i had the same problem here is what i would do. i would get a 500 or 1000gallon water tank and pump the water from the well to the tank. on the tank i would have a floating filter installed so your pulling all your water from about 8 inches bellow the surface. and from the tank to the pressure tank and so on. so at least alot of the sediment would have a chance to settle to the bottom and pulling the water from just bellow the surface is going to do alot to help stop all that bs

I dont understand why spinning when using water? As it sound in video it hardly will make 20m3 before worn out, and not being effective when back flush and cleaning. I guess there was something wrong and should not spin during normal use, only during back-flush. Am I right or wrong?

@chrisflo8473 10 ай бұрын

Generally these spin down filters come with a bunch of different sizes. You are using 40 micron but your water is pretty bad. Probably need a 300 micron and 100 micron up stream to catch the larger stuff minimizing the silt collecting on the 40 micron.

Just an idea: You could make a fountain-clock with this. At 1 o'clock it flushes 2 seconds, shooting water (and crap) into a pond (or straight into a drain, if you aim it well enough). At 2 o'clock it flushes 2 secs, wait 2secs, flush 2secs. At 3 o'clock 3 times. Etc...

I have to say I am a little disappointed in this video, Seth - probably as disappointed as you are in this product. While the content was very educational and enjoyable, I feel like I could have moved on to a product that will solve my problem sooner without watching the full video. (Pinning a comment at the top of the comments that says this product isn't yet ready for primetime might help folks like me.) I have the same issues as you with my well and need a way to remove the silt and maintain my house water pressure. A solution like this one which needs attention regularly (looks like every 5 days) will not work. The degree of attention needed (pulling the whole thing apart) is not acceptable either. I'm also interested in what the Rusco could not do for you. Honestly was looking at Rusco, saw that you had a pair of their product and were reviewing this new item drew me in. What configuration did you land on? Thanks for putting this together - glad I found your channel. -John.
