iSpring WSP-50 Spin Down Sediment Filter, Whole House Prefilter, 50 Micron

I recently installed the iSpring WSP-50 spin-down sediment filter as part of my whole-house water treatment system, and it has performed exactly as I had hoped. In my setup, the WSP-50 is installed between a whole-house carbon filter and my water softener. Its primary purpose is to capture any carbon fines that may be released from the carbon media tank before they can enter and potentially damage or foul the water softener. The filter is well-built, easy to service, and provides a simple visual inspection of what is being captured. I particularly appreciate the flush valve feature, which makes routine maintenance quick and convenient without having to disassemble the unit. I also want to recognize Nick at iSpring customer support. He was extremely helpful in verifying the correct replacement screen element for my specific filter model. He responded promptly, answered my questions clearly, and made sure I ordered the proper part with confidence. Excellent customer service like that is becoming increasingly rare and is greatly appreciated. Overall, the iSpring WSP-50 has been a valuable addition to my water treatment system, providing an extra layer of protection for my water softener while giving me peace of mind that any carbon fines or larger sediment particles are being intercepted before they can cause problems downstream. Highly recommended.

I don’t write too many reviews, but felt like I had to for this product. I have a well water system and needed a spin-down filter to replace an old one that was no longer working properly. I purchased this product in 2023 and also purchased a spare filter so that I could replace the filter instantly and take my time cleaning the used filter, swapping them out each time. It has worked very well. The frequency of changing these filters out has been shortening over time as my well is aging (28 years old), going from monthly, to weekly, and lately twice a week. The one issue I’ve had is the o-ring on one of the filters itself is thin and wore out over time and broke. I couldn’t find the size o-ring I needed on Amazon, so I emailed iSpring customer service. Matt contacted me back and I relayed the issue with pictures. iSpring didn’t have an o-ring replacement available, so Matt sent me a replacement filter at no cost. I am so pleased with iSpring’s customer service that I plan to purchase their much larger sediment filter in the near future. I’m just waiting for it to go on sale or to a lower price. If you have sediment issues that one looks amazing with automatic flushing! The product name is: iSpring WSP50ARJ-BP Jumbo Whole House Water Filter System, 50 Micron. Thanks Matt and iSpring for your wonderful customer service!

Using this on a rainwater collection system between the tanks and the RV 12v pump. Works wonderful, no issues and is nice and easy to clean when sediments build up. The valve is nice but it is also real easy to unscrew the shroud and clean the stainless screen itself.

Well made filter. Great for and kitchen and one room. It definitely should have been made longer so you wouldn't have to flush it every other day.

This is a great filter! It is durable and super easy to clean, plus the bottom clean-out valve has also been handy for bleeding down the system when we need to work on other plumbing (an unexpected bonus). You do need to put some thought into your water conditions before selecting a filtration size though, or you can run into trouble as we did initially. I-Spring technical support helped us work through our issues (Thanks Sean!), but a picture of our filtration set-up and a brief description of the water situation are included below in case you want to learn from our mistakes (prior to making your own original ones :-). Our well water is high in iron, so we needed to install an iron filter [big black tank] to protect the plumbing and hot water heater. The very expensive iron filter required a minimum of 30 micron sediment filtration on water going in (or warranty void and {very expensive} filter life could go from 3+ years to a few months). Our well is screened in a fine sand, and tends to produce more than we would like. So we installed a high volume sediment filter [blue] with the disposable paper filters (5 – 30 microns) that have to be replaced periodically. Those paper filters, like everything now days, cost more than you would like. The better the water coming in, the longer they last, so we installed the I-spring spin-down filter [far right] to help stretch the life of those paper filters. We went with the 50 micron filter, thinking that would maximize the life on the disposable filters. Turns out that was a bad choice. Our well produced 10 gpm at the pump when it was installed last summer, but when we turned on the house system (all new construction) two months later, we were getting much less. We were afraid the well capacity had diminished due to the drought this summer, but testing with the pump and pressure tank showed it was making significantly more than what we were getting at the house. It turned out that the problem was that 50 micron spin-down filter. The amount of sand coming from our well was too much for that fine of filter, so the system lost a lot of water pressure forcing it though. After consulting with I-spring, we are now running a 200 micron mesh in the spin-down filter. It is still doing the job of removing most of the sand, but we are getting double the flow. Moral of the story, be sure to select the right size filter for your water conditions. If you aren’t sure, buy a couple of different sizes and test them out. We have mesh screens for 50, 100 and 200 microns now, and they all work in the same unit case.

This review is for the iSpring WSP-50 particle filter that is used on city water. The iSpring 50-micron filter serves as frontline protection for my 3M Whole Home Sysem with scale protection. The two have been online for 6 months (since mid-August). After 6 months use, I believe that am in a good position to judge the attributes of the iSpring filter. First, the iSpring is very forgiving for those who forget to open the value to clean it out. I went nearly 4.5 months without rinsing out the system. I show a picture of the iSpring just before I cleaned it for the first time. Yuk! During the initial 4.5 months, I experienced no loss of water pressure, which I find amazing. Again, I am on city water, so most large particulates are likelly removed. Your results would undoubtedly vary, especially if you are on well water. But clearly, the iSpring WSP-50 did its job. Our main water problem is preventing corrosion and scale build up. We ran a water softener for decades that worked well. Unfortunately, its consumables (salt) were costing us nearly $300 per year, and that is not counting water that is wasted during the softening process. The softener finally quit working last summer, and it was time for different solition. Hence, I got the iSpring WSP-50 and 3M whole home system. I bring this up as iSpring has another spindown filter for comparable cost:, the iSpring WSP-50SL Reusable Whole House Spin Down Sediment Water Filter Softener. The WSP-50SL Includes Siliphos, which supposedly helps soften water and lessens scale and corrosion build up. If I was aware of the iSpring WSP-50SL, I would have installed it instead of the iSpring WSP-50. Unfortunately, swapping the iSpring WSP-50SL for the iSpring WSP-50 is not a seamless change, and I would require a plumber to install the WSP-50SL. In conclusion, the iSpring WSP-50 is an excellent pre-filter to protect a downstream whole home system. If scale build up from hard water is a problem in your home, the iSpring WSP-50SL might be your best bet for a similar cost. I believe that you cannot go wrong with either choice.

works well collecting sediment....would recommend

Easy install and easy to clear out.

Good product.

Dieser Filter hat eine hohe Qualität bzgl Robustheit und Reinigung. Kann das Produkt trotz hohen Preis weitermpfehlen. Qualität kostet eben...

Works well. Filters mesh was to small for my bore as it is very silty and dirty water. Contacted support and replacement filter being sent with larger mesh. No issues or hassles in getting replacement filter. Would recommend product

Muy buen producto. En Playa del Carmen hay mucho sedimento de arena. Esto ayuda a filtrarlo del agua que llega a la casa, y mantiene la tubería y filtros de agua por más tiempo

Happy with this. It looks and feels very well made with brass and heavy duty plastic
