iSpring WSP50ARB Spin Down Sediment Water Filter, Reusable with Touch-Screen Auto Flushing Module and Built-in Housing Scraper, Brass Top Clear Housing, 50 Micron

The catchment area for our private water supply filters through extensive peat hillsides and results in high amounts of particulates and quite strong tannin colouration. The high particulate levels mean that we have to change our 30 micron and 5 micron disposable every month or so. This is rather costly. So we decided to try adding a 50 micron iSpring spin down filter to "protect" the next stage filters from getting clogged too quickly. We bought the iSpring WSP50ARB Spin Down Sediment Water Filter in Nov 22 and it has now been operational for a few weeks. Pros: Excellent quality, great innovation, superb customer service (Canada to Scotland). Very easy to install (although NPT threaded connections aren't quite as common in the UK). The digital control unit is very straightforward to set-up, and the automatic spin down operation easily cleans the sediment that is collected by the filter. It is a bit too soon to judge how well it protects the next stage of filtering. But, nonetheless, I would wholeheartedly recommend it! Cons: absolutely none. Please note: the iSpring WSP50ARB Spin Down Sediment Water Filter is not designed to remove tannin colouration from water supplies. I have to employ an additional filtration stage to need this requirement.

After 2 years of constantly having my sprinkler system malfunction due to the DEPURA filter I previously had installed getting clogged and needing constant cleaning and changing (those cartriges needed replacing every month or so), I was almost thinking of drilling a new well, was getting out of ideas. I have finally solved my problem with this filter. Have installed the iSpring WSP50ARB for over a week now and it's been working magic. I've set it to drain every day (since my well is so sandy it gets clogged almost everyday) and connected the drain hose to my local drain pipe so I basically don't need to do anything anymore. Customer support was amazing, I spoke with Francis from Ispring and asked them if I could also buy a 100 microns filter because the 50microns filter is clogging faster, and they were amazingly nice that they've sent it to my address at no charge (best customer support I've received on amazon so far). The filter in itself is rather easy to install, I'm no plumber but I've managed to install it myself. Highly recommed the product and the company

This is a very well‑made, dependable product, and the customer service truly sets the company apart. Installation was simple, and the unit has been working flawlessly from the start. Initially, I had the backwash draining into a plastic bucket, but I wanted to connect it to an existing elevated drain pipe a few feet away. I wasn’t sure if that setup might affect the filter, so I called customer service. Nick took the time to listen carefully to my concern and walked me through the solution. He sent the correct size drain line in the exact quantity I needed and recommended adding a check valve for proper flow. Everything worked out perfectly. It’s rare to find a company that stands behind its product with this level of support. Great product, great company, great service. Highly recommended.

After years of replacing disposable filter cartridges every week and sometimes more often, we finally decided to try one of these spin down flushable filters. We were very impressed with the quality of the iSpring filter... straightforward installation and operation, and it works extremely well. A little too well in our case... we should have gone with the larger micron cartridge as it plugged up several times daily because of all the debris in our water supply. But we contacted customer service (US based, big thumbs up) and Julius was fantastic... they sent out the 100 micron replacement, even shipped free of charge to Canada. The larger micron cartridge works so much better for us. With the automatic flush set to once per day we have no more plugging. However, if you have a lot of debris or sediment I recommend going with the larger WSP-ARJ model which come with up to a 200 or even 500 micron cartridge. Spring and fall are worse times with our artesian well and we may need to do that yet. I wish we would have contacted iSpring beforehand and explained what we required, as I'm sure they would have advised us what was best. I must say there are not too many companies that impress me these days but this is definitely one of them. We may be expanding our water filtration system in the future and will not hesitate to buy from iSpring again, and of course highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product and service to back it up.

It's been a year and three months since purchase. Initially, the autoflush drive unit had an assembly error resulting in a damaged drive gear. I requested a replacement gear from the company and they expeditiously sent me an entire new drive unit. I'm guessing spare parts are not available. But then it worked fine with the new drive unit. The craftsmanship overall is excellent. It's well made, and has been working well since installation. It filters and flushes well and has had no malfunctions since put in operation some fifteen months ago. The bracket with this unit is iffy. It doesn't secure it well and is virtually impossible to install once the unit is plumbed up. I bought their big unit for my kid's house and that's more what you'd expect. If I were to suggest a design improvement, it would be with the ball valve. I would go with a solenoid valve. Why? The ball valve is stiff to turn and that plastic drive gear is being stressed. Also if power were to go out in the middle of a flush, it would stay open and flushing, dumping water until power was restored. Could run the whole well tank dry when there's no power to pump more water. Or run up the meter on city water. If the drive gear were to fail on closing, that too could cause water loss.

I heard about these filters from a friend of mine and installed the 50 micron auto flushing spin down to save changing our 20 “ 3 stage filters so much. Installation was easy. We followed a video. However the filter clogged right away and my pressure went down. I was disappointed. I thought a 50 would be big enough as we were using 20 or 30 micron 20” filters to start in the 3 phase. I called the Ispring number to inquire about what size filter i should be using. I spoke with Nick. It was so refreshing to speak to someone in customer service that you could understand and was knowledgeable in the product and was able to help me right away. Not only that they stand by their product. He is shipping me a larger filter to try as this can be hard to guess which size you need. If this isn’t enough he also gave me advice to add an additional larger spin down ahead of it. I have no doubt that this will finally alleviate my water issues. I was so pleased with the customer service and the quality of their product. Thank you !!

I included my comments in the iSpring heavy duty 3 Stage filtration system. Well built, good quality and works great! Highly recommend.
