PDR-50WSP 50-Micron Flushable Prefilter Spin Down Sediment Filter System | PureDrop

I took this completely apart to examine it. It assembles well. Good machining. Threading is accurate and tight. It is well designed. We are using this for rain water filtration prior to a pump.

As a pre-storage tank element, this filter in an excellent precursor to a whole house water filtration system.

As shown in the photo, the spin-down filter is located between incoming water from the well and the storage-pressure tank. This location keeps most sediment and fine sand out of the tank, and the clear housing makes viewing of contaminants quick and easy. Turning the filter’s white base ring & internal ‘scrubbers’ surrounding the 100 micron screen filter loosens foreign objects and allows their discharge via the valve at the bottom into a clear polyurethane hose and 5 gallon bucket where I can see what’s coming out of the well.

No system is perfect, but this unit—positioned as a pre-filter prior to the storage-pressure tank and 3-element APPLIED MEMBRANES INC. Whole House Water Filter system— is a step in the right direction. And because I incorporated 1” ball valves that allow isolation of the filter unit, I can easily disassemble the unit to inspect and clean the internal stainless steel screen if necessary.

After carefully examining the design and assessing the function of three such filters, I concluded that this particular unit was the best among three competitors.

The prefilter is built with high-quality materials, and it shows. The stainless steel mesh and lead-free brass machine head ensure durability, while the BPA-free housing guarantees water safety. The filter is easy to clean and reuse, and we've noticed a big improvement in our water quality. Very satisfied!

I'm very pleased with the PDR-50WSP. The installation was straightforward with the included fittings, and the transparent housing makes it easy to monitor the filter's status. The flushable and reusable design is a great feature, significantly extending the filter's lifespan. Excellent performance with a high flow rate too!

The sediment filter has been fantastic for our home's water filtration system. It effectively filters out sediment, rust, and dirt, protecting our plumbing and ensuring clean water throughout the house. The installation was easy, and the reusable filter saves us a lot of money. Highly recommend!
