SimPure DC5S 40 Micron Spin Down Sediment Filter, Reusable Whole House Sediment Water Filter Softener with Siliphos Helps Prevent Scale and Corrosion, 1" MNPT + 3/4" FNPT + 3/4"MNPT, BPA Free

Quality made material, came with a replacement filter, was easy to install. We used it for the hot water line coming out of the hot water heater to prevent any particles in our house water line. We put a shut off valve on the line before the filter so we can turn the water off at that point to service the filter. We also have one that is used for the water line going into the heater to keep particles out of it so the hot water heater gives us few problems.

I installed this pre-filter ahead of my whole-house system (where replacement filters run about $200 each), and it’s been an absolute game-changer. Here’s why:Extends Filter Life: Captures sediment and debris before it ever reaches the main filter, so I’m no longer replacing those expensive cartridges every few months.Built-Tough Construction: Heavy-duty housing with leak-proof seals—no pressure loss, no worries.Easy Installation & Maintenance: Clamps on quickly to existing plumbing and the cartridge swaps out in seconds.Immediate ROI: Paid for itself by preserving one expensive filter already—best investment I made in my water system.Room for Improvement:None—this unit delivers exactly what it promises. I have zero suggestions!

It did leak a little at the beginning but I think it was user error from crappy teflon tape. I really like the options to change out filters. Easy to clean out and the water will come blasting out this thing. I would make use to use better teflon tape. Very please with this setup and great value. I would recommend this filter.

Throughout the installation process I found this pre-filter to be of decent quality. I ordered a 3/4 in and I received a pre-filter that had 1 in MNPT connectors on the housing and it included a screw-on coupling type connector that turned the 1 in into a 3/4-in MNPT connection. The most puzzling part of installing using the 3/4 in coupling connectors was the lack of material to be able to tighten the couplings into the rest of the existing pipe architecture. I came to these reviews several times seeking advice from other people and I didn't see any solution but I did see that there were a few others that were confused like I was and were experiencing the same issue. So I will pass on this tidbit of information. The 3/4-in couplings can be tightened quite well by using a special wrench that goes inside the lumen of the 3/4-in connectors. Inside the lumen you'll see that there is two opposing ear like structures. I included a picture of the wrench that you'll need in order to be able to tighten these connectors with appropriate torque. I went to my local plumbing store and was introduced to this new tool as I had never used one before. I used the fork end of the pop out plug wrench and was able to adequately torque down the connectors. I hope that helps anyone else like me that was looking for a hand up. I haven't finished my system yet, if something changes my feeling about this pre-filter filter I will update my review but as of right now, I think it's a great value for the money.

Works great, but make sure you don’t lose the tool that comes with it. That tool makes it easier to change the filter inside it.

I draw water from a well that’s 1000’ deep and the pump hangs at 400’ deep. The water has always been crystal clear, however since the “atmospheric river” of rain fall and exceptional snow pack in the Sierras, I’m now experiencing sand and “fools gold” at all my faucet screens. It was to the point of the washing machine and shower screen having to be removed and cleaned daily! ( not fun when you’re just trying to take a late shower after a hard days work on the ranch). So I found and settled on this one because of its price, size, and adaptability. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and the unadvertised fact that the 1” adaptors are actually silicon washer unions! The entire filter body can be removed! The one oddity is that the blow down ball valve is in the off position when the handle is parallel with the flow. (Pointing down) this is opposite of all other ball valves on planet earth! I’ve added a bypass for serviceability and convenience to the house in case it froze and broke or started to leak or just so I don’t interrupt water service to my family while blowing it down or removing the filter screen to clean it. I have 40 years experience with soldering and plumbing/ piping, so this was second hand to me, but hire a plumber or pipe fitter or use “Shark bite” fittings and try it yourself. You will need a lot of materials you might not have if you do try to install it without plumbing experience. The pics are before and after install under the house ( to help protect from the rare freezing temps) and to also give an idea of the amount of materials needed to do a proper 3/4” copper hard line install with bypass. The full days work was absolutely with it and I will only have to blow down the filer from now on and all the home point of use screens are clean!! YAY!!!

A must have for every well, solid brass construction, very sturdy feeling for sure. Valves and handles feel like quality. Filters are super easy to change if you install shut off valves on both sides. Super fine filter worked great but slowed water fall after a few months. It’s an ultra fine filter so I expected that. I replaced it with the larger micron one included. Buy it.

These do NOT have NPT threads. They use NPS threads. Getting a seal will be difficult as you have to ram the NPS thread into your NPT fitting and get it to bottom out, hopefully without leaking.If you are able to get a seal that doesn't leak, they are actually really good filters! The filter cartridge is stainless steel fabric and works very well. If only it used proper NPT fittings.

Excelente servicio, estoy muy complacido con el tiempo de entrega, el material es de muy buena calidad.

Installation was easy, I installed it to take out heavier sediment ahead of another finer filtering unit. Ideally captures the sediment, and I just purge it every few days. It's small in size though doesn't have to be larger to do the job.

ممتاز وجودتة عالية

Superb product. Robust and very well made giving the feel of solid quality. Fits existing plumbing beautifully with barely a hint of PTFE tape needed. Highly recommend this one.
