Rusco® Spin-Down® Sediment Filter - 1.5in - 140 Mesh

Rusco® Spin-Down® Sediment Filter - 1.5in - 140 Mesh

The Rusco® Spin-Down® is a highly versatile inline sediment filter designed for a wide range of applications — from residential well water and geothermal heating to agricultural irrigation, lawn and turf, livestock feeding systems, and industrial liquid cooling. The 140-mesh screen captures fine sediment before it reaches sensitive downstream equipment, and the Spin-Down design allows easy purging without system shutdown.

Key Features & Benefits

• 140 Mesh Filtration — captures particles 105 microns and larger, including sand and silt.
• 1.5in Connection — suits medium-to-high flow irrigation and industrial applications.
• Spin-Down Purge Design — sediment collects at the bottom and can be purged via flush valve without interrupting flow.
• Versatile Applications — household well water, geothermal HVAC, drip irrigation, livestock systems, and industrial cooling.
• Durable Construction — designed for long service life in demanding environments.

Who Should Use This

Growers, irrigators, and facility managers needing reliable sediment pre-filtration for pumps, drip systems, misters, and sensitive water-using equipment with a 1.5in line connection.

1.5in connection. Uses Rusco™ RUSCOFS1-1/2-140 polyester replacement screen element.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Spin-Down design work?

Water enters tangentially, creating centrifugal spin that forces sediment to the bottom of the housing. Opening the purge valve flushes collected sediment without removing the filter body.

What mesh size is 140 mesh?

140 mesh filters particles 105 microns (0.105mm) and larger — effective for sand and fine silt.

Can I get a replacement screen element?

Yes — order the Rusco™ RUSCOFS1-1/2-140 polyester replacement element for this filter.

Is this suitable for drip irrigation?

Yes — sediment pre-filtration is critical for drip emitters, and the Spin-Down purge design makes maintenance quick and easy.
