Rusco 1-1/2" Polyester or Stainless Steel Sediment Trapper Filter
1-1/2" Polyester or Stainless Steel Sediment Trapper Filter
Industrial-grade spin-down filter for well water, whole-house, and irrigation applications. Clear housing with replaceable polyester or stainless steel screens from 24 to 1000 mesh.
High-flow sediment removal with easy bottom flush
Spin-Down Action
Water enters tangentially, spinning sediment to the bottom collection chamber for easy flush-out without removing the filter screen.
Nine Screen Options
Choose from 24 to 1000 mesh in polyester or stainless steel. Match the screen to your sediment type, from coarse debris to ultra-fine grit.
Clear Housing
Monitor sediment accumulation visually. Clear body shows when it's time to flush. Optional sun shield prevents algae growth in outdoor installations.
1-1/2" Flow Capacity
Sized for wells, whole-house systems, and commercial irrigation. Handles the flow rate while protecting downstream equipment from sand and grit.

| Mesh | Micron | Opening | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | 711 μm | .028" | Shale, shell, general debris |
| 30 | 533 μm | .021" | General debris, pipe scale |
| 40 | 381 μm | .015" | Coarse sand, sprinkler protection |
| 60 | 254 μm | .010" | Fine sand, aerators, valves |
| 100 | 152 μm | .006" | New wells, drip irrigation, poultry watering |
| 140 | 104 μm | .004" | Fine grit, fogger nozzles, sensitive valves |
| 250 | 61 μm | .0024" | Very fine sand, pre-treatment |
| 500 | 30 μm | .0012" | RO pre-treatment, ultrafiltration |
| 1000 | 15 μm | .0006" | Ultra-fine grit, RO systems |

Flush regularly, replace screens when damaged
Bottom Flush
Open the bottom ball valve to flush accumulated sediment. Frequency depends on sediment load. Visual inspection through clear housing shows when flushing is needed.
Screen Replacement
Replace polyester or stainless steel screens if damaged, torn, or flow rate drops significantly. Stainless steel screens last longer in high-sediment applications.
Housing Cleaning
Remove screen and clean clear housing interior with mild detergent if buildup occurs. Install sun shield if algae growth appears in outdoor installations.
Whole-House Protection
Protects softeners, UV systems, and fixtures from sediment damage
Irrigation Ready
Prevents clogged nozzles, drip emitters, and spray heads in agricultural systems
Well Water Specialist
Handles sand, grit, and scale from private wells and municipal supplies
