First and foremost, I'd like to state that I had a positive experience with the seller, who did an excellent job. In terms of the product, I would not recommend it. This was purchased to serve as a mesh filter for my power washer, which I use in my power washing business. The first filter arrived quickly, but the threads were damaged, so it had to be returned. The second filter arrived even faster than the first and appeared to have good threads, so I put it to use. I used high-quality PTFE tape on both the inlet and outlet connections, one of which was brass and the other PVC, and despite using the appropriate amount of sealant and fittings that were more than tight enough, both connections developed minor leaks. Is it possible that the problem stems from a faulty setup? Perhaps, but with 31 years of experience and thousands of installations under my belt, I'm confident that the problem is somewhere in the filter's construction.
While it lacks the same level of filtration, it functions well and is significantly less expensive.
The unit is quite large, but that was not an issue for me. I was concerned that one of the threaded female fittings was misshaped and would not mate properly with the male fitting in my system. My plumber, however, was able to make a good connection with some force.
It worked perfectly.
For hydroponics, I'm using 1" PVC pipe with a 650gph pump. It performs admirably. I threaded a mpt/slip adapter through the strainer and experienced no leaks there or at the top. It's fairly long-lasting and a good value for the money when compared to similar products available online. about 1. I'd buy more of these if they were a quarter of the price.
The aerobic system was used to install this on my sprinkler field. Only filter maintenance is required to keep the spray heads clean and functional vs. spray heads need to be cleaned This is an excellent product.
It works well and can be emptied into a bucket with ease. There is no need to change the filters.
It arrived much faster than expected.
