SimPure 100/500 Micron Spin Down Sediment Filter, Reusable Whole House Sediment Water Filter, Pre-Filtration System for City/Well water, 1" MNPT + 3/4" FNPT + 3/4"MNPT, BPA Free

Works as it should. Quality is good.

I installed this pre-filter ahead of my whole-house system (where replacement filters run about $200 each), and it’s been an absolute game-changer. Here’s why:Extends Filter Life: Captures sediment and debris before it ever reaches the main filter, so I’m no longer replacing those expensive cartridges every few months.Built-Tough Construction: Heavy-duty housing with leak-proof seals—no pressure loss, no worries.Easy Installation & Maintenance: Clamps on quickly to existing plumbing and the cartridge swaps out in seconds.Immediate ROI: Paid for itself by preserving one expensive filter already—best investment I made in my water system.Room for Improvement:None—this unit delivers exactly what it promises. I have zero suggestions!

It's working, only knock is this is not brass only colored to look that way so don't expect a lifetime of use.

So far seems to work well. Still playing with which filter to use with our well/rainwater, the 200 or the 40. Installed without any issues as long as you have everything you need to install it, fittings that might be needed that aren't included. It is easy to clean/flush, but for my use, I think I need to add a hose mount otherwise it will spray like a lose hose and go all over. Works well and can see it in the clear housing.

Throughout the installation process I found this pre-filter to be of decent quality. I ordered a 3/4 in and I received a pre-filter that had 1 in MNPT connectors on the housing and it included a screw-on coupling type connector that turned the 1 in into a 3/4-in MNPT connection. The most puzzling part of installing using the 3/4 in coupling connectors was the lack of material to be able to tighten the couplings into the rest of the existing pipe architecture. I came to these reviews several times seeking advice from other people and I didn't see any solution but I did see that there were a few others that were confused like I was and were experiencing the same issue. So I will pass on this tidbit of information. The 3/4-in couplings can be tightened quite well by using a special wrench that goes inside the lumen of the 3/4-in connectors. Inside the lumen you'll see that there is two opposing ear like structures. I included a picture of the wrench that you'll need in order to be able to tighten these connectors with appropriate torque. I went to my local plumbing store and was introduced to this new tool as I had never used one before. I used the fork end of the pop out plug wrench and was able to adequately torque down the connectors. I hope that helps anyone else like me that was looking for a hand up. I haven't finished my system yet, if something changes my feeling about this pre-filter filter I will update my review but as of right now, I think it's a great value for the money.

My home has a well and periodically (like after heavy rains) sediment is pulled into the house's plumbing system so that faucets and appliances need to have their sediment screens cleaned often. While having other work done, I had my plumber install this whole-house sediment filter. Works great! It's been installed for a month or so and I haven't had to clean out any of my faucet or appliance filter screens. I've also gone through the recommended monthly flush, which was really easy to do and was very effective in flushing trapped particles out of the filter.This product is small and compact, as you can see from the photo. It comes with metal filters in two different sizes: 40um (for city water) and 200um (for well water). The filter was easy to install in the housing - it only took 2 or 3 minutes and then I was up and running.UPDATE: I have now had this filter installed long enough to go through the filter cleaning process. Last month, I pulled the filter, performed the recommended vinegar soak and clean and reinstalled the filter. No problems at all and the removal and reinstall of the filter in the housing was quite easy to do. Afterward, no leaks. This filter is definitely performing as expected.

Good quality, works well

Well designed, easy to install
