Rusco 2" Polyester or Stainless Steel Sediment Trapper Filter

Rusco Sediment Trapper

2" Polyester or Stainless Steel Sediment Filter Screen

Reusable spin-down filter element for well water, irrigation, and whole-house sediment removal. Choose from nine mesh sizes from 24 to 1000 microns.

Reusable Screen 2" Element Spin-Down Design
WHY IT WORKS

Mechanical sediment screening with cleanable polyester or stainless steel mesh

🔄

Reusable Element

Cleanable polyester or stainless steel screen eliminates the need for disposable cartridges. Rinse and reinstall for years of service.

📐

Nine Mesh Options

From coarse 24-mesh (711 micron) for shale and debris down to ultra-fine 1000-mesh (15 micron) for pre-RO treatment. Match the screen to the sediment type.

💧

Spin-Down Chamber

Sediment settles to the bottom of the filter body where it's flushed through the drain valve. Screen stays cleaner longer between maintenance.

🔩

2" Flow Capacity

Larger 2-inch element handles higher flow rates for irrigation systems, large homes, and commercial applications without pressure loss.

SCREEN SELECTION

Match mesh size to your sediment and application

Mesh Microns Opening Best For
24 711µ .028" Shale, shell, general debris
30 533µ .021" Debris and coarse particles
40 381µ .015" Pipe scale, coarse sand, sprinklers
60 254µ .010" Sand-sensitive valves, aerators
100 152µ .006" Fine sand from new wells, drip irrigation, poultry systems
140 104µ .004" Fogger nozzles, very fine grit
250 61µ .0024" Very fine sand, RO pre-treatment
500 30µ .0012" Ultra-fine pre-treatment
1000 15µ .0006" Reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration pre-treatment
COMPATIBILITY

Rusco 2" sediment trapper systems

This element fits Rusco 2-inch sediment trapper housings. Available in polyester mesh (FS2-24ST through FS2-1000ST) and stainless steel mesh (FS2-30STSS, FS2-60STSS, FS2-100STSS, FS2-140STSS, FS2-200STSS). Element dimensions are 10" height by 1-7/8" diameter. If algae growth is a concern with clear filter bodies, use a Rusco Sun Shield to block light.

MAINTENANCE

Clean when pressure drop increases or sediment accumulates

Monthly

Flush Sediment

Open the bottom drain valve to flush accumulated sediment from the chamber. Takes 30 seconds and requires no disassembly.

Quarterly

Remove and Rinse

Unscrew filter body, remove screen element, and rinse under pressure. Use a soft brush if sediment has embedded in the mesh.

Annual

Deep Clean

Soak polyester screens in mild acid solution or caustic cleaner to dissolve mineral scale. Stainless screens tolerate harsher chemicals for heavy buildup.

As Needed

Replace Screen

Replace element if mesh is torn, permanently clogged, or pressure drop doesn't improve after cleaning. Polyester typically lasts 3-5 years, stainless steel much longer.

💰

Low Operating Cost

No disposable cartridges to buy. One reusable screen lasts years with periodic rinsing.

High Flow Capacity

2-inch element size handles irrigation, commercial, and high-demand residential applications without restricting flow.

🎯

Precise Filtration

Nine mesh sizes let you target specific sediment types from heavy debris down to silt-level particles.
