Rusco™ Polyester Element for Spin-Down Sediment Filters - 2in - 140 Mesh

Genuine 2in Replacement Screen for Rusco Spin-Down Filters

A spin-down filter is only as effective as the screen element doing the actual capturing, and one that's torn or permanently clogged lets sediment straight through no matter how well the housing itself performs. This 2in, 140-mesh polyester element is the genuine Rusco replacement, restoring the filter body's original capture performance for sand, silt, and suspended solids.

It's cleanable and reusable rather than a single-use part, so rinsing it periodically between purge cycles keeps performance up without needing frequent replacement.

About Rusco

Rusco has manufactured sediment filtration equipment since Russ Welte founded the company in 1983, trademarking its cyclonic Spin-Down design in 1986. More than 40 years later, the family-owned business still builds its replacement elements, like this polyester screen, to the same original specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace the polyester element?

Replace it once the screen is torn, permanently clogged, or visibly deformed. With regular purging and occasional rinsing, elements can last for years before replacement is needed.

Can I clean this element instead of replacing it?

Yes, opening the purge valve flushes accumulated sediment without removing the element at all, and periodically pulling it out for a thorough rinse extends its usable life further. Replace it only once cleaning no longer restores adequate flow.

What size particles does this mesh capture?

This is a 140-mesh element, which captures particles approximately 105 microns and larger. That range covers most sand, silt, and suspended solids found in well water and irrigation supply lines.

Is this a genuine Rusco replacement part?

Yes, it's manufactured as a direct-fit replacement screen element for Rusco Spin-Down filter bodies in the matching connection size, restoring original filtration performance. Using a genuine Rusco element also preserves the fit and flow characteristics the filter body was originally designed around.
