If you have super fine sediment, use a three stage approach:
Rusco Spindown 60 mesh filter, then the Sediment Backwash Filter, followed by a 25/1 micron dual grade big blue filter!
The first filter removes large sand and grit. The Sediment Backwash Filter removes all sediment larger than 3 to 5 micron range. The final big blue 1 micron filter removes all super fine sediment down to 1 micron!
Typical Well Installation
Questions and Answers
Q. Is it difficult to install?
A. It is not difficult to install, most of our customers install it themselves or hire a handyman or plumber. Installation takes about 3 to 5 hours typically.
Q. Will the Sediment Backwash Filter cut or restrict my water pressure?
A. No, this is one of the advantages over sediment filter cartridges. Filter cartridges get clogged with sediment and cut back on water pressure until you change it, but unlike cartridges the pressure is restored after each backwash. During normal operation you might see a 2 to 3 PSI pressure drop at the maximum flow rate, so it is not noticeable.
Q. How long does the Turbidex media last?
A. About 5 years. After 5 or 6 years or longer depending on water usage, the media can be easily dumped out and new media poured in.
Q. Does it remove iron?
A. Yes if the iron is primarily in the rust or oxidized form, it works great to remove rust and iron oxides.
Q. I have an existing big blue whole house filter, should I keep that?
A. Yes, you might consider adding that AFTER the sediment backwash filter and using a 5 or 1 micron filter cartridge. If there is any very fine sediment less than 3 to 5 microns your final big blue filter will catch it. The filter will last for a long time and not require frequent changing since the sediment backwash filter is before it.
Q. What maintenance is required?
A. No routine maintenance is required. The 7500 Rev-4 ceramic disc control valve lasts for many years and requires no routine maintenance. Eventually you would need to unscrew the control valve and change the Turbidex media, after 5 or 6 or more years.
