SoftPro Water Systems Spin-Down Sediment Filter
A reusable 60 mesh screen that protects everything downstream and filters nothing chemical.
$95
Usability
Every well system with sand in it should have one of these ahead of the equipment, and at $95 this is the least consequential purchasing decision on the site. Its strongest attribute is that nothing is consumed, since the screen is flushed and reused indefinitely and, unlike a cartridge pre-filter, it has no running cost. Its weakest is resolution: 60 mesh is roughly 250 microns, which stops sand and rust flakes and passes silt, clay and everything finer. The buyer is not really trading anything away here, because this is a component rather than a treatment system, and the only mistake available is expecting it to do more. SoftPro publishes no flow rate or pressure drop figure, which for a screen filter matters mainly as it approaches clogging.
- Reusable screen with nothing to buy again
- Flushes through a valve without disassembly
- Two plumbing sizes, 3/4 inch and 1 inch
- Protects softener resin and carbon beds from abrasive sediment
- Cheapest insurance in the SoftPro catalogue at $95
- 60 mesh is roughly 250 microns and passes anything finer

- SoftPro publishes no flow rate or pressure drop figure
- Not a substitute for a cartridge sediment filter on silty water
The spin-down separator is a reusable 60 mesh screen filter in 3/4 inch and 1 inch plumbing sizes, fitted upstream of a softener or filter to catch sand, grit and rust. Water enters tangentially and spins, dropping heavier particles into the sump for flushing through a valve at the base. Nothing is consumed and nothing is replaced, since the screen is rinsed and reused.
