OVERVIEW
iSpring WSP and WSP-SL
Reusable Spin-down Sediment Water Filter Systems
The WSP spin-down sediment filter is the first line of defense for your plumbing system, faucets, and appliances. By removing dirt, sand, and rust particles, it protects and extends the life of your standard filters. It also prevents the faucets from being damaged by “grinding.” Statistics show that it saves up to 20% of water consumption from being wasted by “dripping faucets” in commercial and public buildings.
The iSpring WSP should be installed as a pre-filter, and the WSP-SL is used for hot water heaters to prevent scale buildup. The WSP and WSP-SL are flushable and reusable. With just a toggle of a switch, they can flush out particles that are trapped in the filter without needing to shut down the water supply first.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Please read the following information carefully and completely before installation.
SPECIFICATIONS
The WSP is made of FDA-grade, high impact stainless steel mesh and offers a pore rating of 50, 100, 200, 500, or 1000 microns.
The WSP-SL includes a powerful anti-scale and corrosion agent called Siliphos, an ultrasafe water treatment compound. It contains a glass-like Polyphosphate with Sodium, Calcium Magnesium and Silicate, formulated specifically for scale prevention.
• Dry weight: 1 lb
• Dimensions: 3.5" width x 9" height
• Suitable temperature range: 40 - 100 °F
• Suitable pressure range: 20 - 90 psi
The 1-inch outlet MNPT fitting provides a maximum 20 GPM flow rate. The WSP and WSP-SL also feature 3/4 inch NPT threads on the inlet and outlet.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FILTER SIZE
The WSP spin-down sediment filter series comes with a variety of options in terms of micron size. Choose the right filter cartridges with different micron ratings and filter media depending on the quality of your source water and contaminants. We recommend using multi-stage filters to achieve the best filtering results and longer cartridge life.
Smaller microns allow fewer particles through, but to get most life and efficiency out of your filters, it’s important to only go as small as you need. Differences in water quality and your water pressure affect the performance of the WSP.
Please avoid the mistake of using 'fine' filters for 'rough' water, which will cause the filters to clog sooner than expected.
INSTALLATION
WHERE TO INSTALL
Install this filter in a place where it will be easy to access and maintain. Do not install this product outside or in a place that is exposed to direct sunlight. The filter should not be exposed to freezing temperatures, overheating, corrosive materials, or collisions.
HOW TO INSTALL
To suit different plumbing sizes, the unit comes with two types of threads on both ends: 1 inch MNPT and ¾ inch FNPT. The flush out valve has a garden hose barb fitting.
The 1 inch MNPT may be directly mounted onto the 1 inch FNPT inlet port of a whole house filtration system. It is recommended that you have an inlet valve and outlet valve before and after the unit.
The WSP should be installed as a first layer of filtration for the water source before a larger filtration system. The WSP-SL prevents scale and corrosion in your water supply and should be installed after the water inlet to your water heater.
MAINTENANCE
The filters’ see-through housing offers easy visual monitoring. To ensure filter performance, the unit should be flushed out at least once per week. To flush, connect a garden hose to the flush valve, turn off the outlet valve, turn on the inlet valve, and flush the valve.
Observe the stainless-steel mesh once per month. To clean the mesh, twist off the clear housing and use vinegar to remove any mineral deposits. Replace the mesh every 12 to 24 months. Replace the mesh with Siliphos every 3 months or depending on usage.
