NT100-100, Rusco Fltr, 1x100 20 gpm, 1-100-F

The Rusco NT100-100 spin-down sediment filter is a 1-inch separator built to protect your home's plumbing, fixtures, and downstream water-treatment equipment from sand, silt, scale, and other particulate debris. Rated for flows up to 20 GPM, this filter is a smart first line of defense for well-water homes and any application where grit can clog appliances or foul a softener and reverse-osmosis system. Because it sits at the point of entry, it shields the entire house at once rather than treating one fixture at a time, intercepting trouble before it ever reaches a faucet, water heater, or icemaker.

This model uses a 100-mesh screen housed in a clear, see-through body so you can monitor sediment buildup at a glance and know exactly when it is time to flush. Spin-down separators like this one work by spinning incoming water so heavier particles are forced to the outside of the chamber and settle into the bottom sump, where a simple valve lets you purge captured debris without removing or replacing a cartridge. That centrifugal action is what sets a separator apart from a disposable cartridge filter and is the key to its low operating cost. The 100-mesh screen is on the finer end of the range, catching smaller sand grains and silt that coarser elements would pass through.

Key Features

• 1-inch inlet/outlet sized for whole-house and point-of-entry use
• Flow rate up to 20 GPM for typical residential demand
• 100-mesh screen captures fine sand, silt, and sediment
• Clear housing for easy visual inspection of trapped particulates
• Flush-to-clean design eliminates recurring cartridge costs
• Reusable, washable screen for low-maintenance operation

Installing an NT100-100 ahead of your water softener, UV system, or RO unit helps extend the life of that equipment by keeping abrasive particles out of valves, pumps, and membranes. It is equally at home on irrigation lines, agricultural feeds, and light commercial supplies. For best results, mount it vertically with the sump pointing down and leave clearance below for the flush valve. Because the screen is reusable, ongoing upkeep is as simple as opening the flush valve and rinsing the element, making this Rusco filter an economical, dependable foundation for any whole-house treatment plan.
