NT150-60, Rusco Fltr, 1-1/2x60 50 gpm, 1-1/2-60-F

The Rusco NT150-60 is a 1-1/2-inch spin-down sediment separator rated for up to 50 GPM, fitted with a 60-mesh screen for reliable removal of coarse sand, silt, and grit. With its larger bore and high flow rating, it is well matched to bigger homes, well-water systems, and light commercial supplies that need robust particulate protection without restricting flow. The 1-1/2-inch connections keep pressure loss minimal even when demand is heavy, so the whole house stays well supplied during peak morning and evening use when multiple fixtures run at once.

Performance and Design

The 60-mesh element is a great all-around choice, capturing the larger debris that does the most damage to pumps, valves, and appliances while resisting rapid clogging in sediment-heavy water. As water enters the clear filter body, it spins, forcing heavier particles outward and down into the collection sump. When buildup is visible through the transparent housing, a quick turn of the flush valve clears the captured debris, with no cartridge to discard. This flush-to-clean approach keeps operating costs low and maintenance fast, even in water that carries a steady load of grit from a sandy well or aging supply line.

• 1-1/2-inch connections rated for up to 50 GPM
• 60-mesh screen for coarse and medium sediment capture
• Clear housing makes maintenance timing obvious
• Manual flush valve for fast, tool-free cleaning
• Reusable element keeps long-term operating costs low
• Effective pre-filtration for softeners, UV, and RO systems

Positioned at the point of entry, the Rusco NT150-60 intercepts abrasive particulates before they can reach your water softener, reverse-osmosis membranes, or household fixtures, helping that equipment last longer and run trouble-free. Mount it vertically with clearance below the sump so the flush valve drains freely, and pair it with a finer screen downstream if you also need to remove very fine silt. For well-water homes in particular, it is an affordable safeguard that pays for itself in reduced wear on downstream equipment and fewer interruptions. The combination of a high 50 GPM rating and a forgiving 60-mesh screen means it rarely needs attention yet still stops the grit that matters most. Whether you are upgrading from an undersized filter or building a new whole-house system from scratch, the NT150-60 gives larger homes the flow and protection they need in one rugged, easy-to-service unit.
