2" Rusco Spin Down Mesh Filter 100 (2-100-F)

The Rusco 2" Spin-Down Sediment Filter (2-100-F) is a high-flow, whole-line sediment pre-filter built for commercial, agricultural, and industrial systems that demand serious filtration capacity without the downtime and cost of cartridge replacement. Fitted with a 100 mesh polyester screen — rated at 152 microns — it captures very fine sand, grit, pipe scale, shale, and fine particulate before it can reach downstream valves, pumps, drip emitters, or treatment equipment.

At the 2" size, this filter is engineered for volume. With a flow range of 18–100 GPM and a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI Rusco, the 2-100-F handles the demands of high-flow well systems, large-scale irrigation mainlines, commercial buildings, and light industrial process water applications without creating a bottleneck. The 2" slip (socket) connections integrate directly into standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe systems using solvent cement — no adapters or transition fittings required in an all-PVC system.

The 100 mesh rating makes this the go-to screen choice for domestic well water applications where fine sand and silt are the primary concern. At 152 microns, it captures the very fine particles that pass through coarser 24, 40, or 60 mesh screens — protecting water softeners, iron filters, UV systems, reverse osmosis pre-treatment, and sensitive downstream equipment from fine sediment loading that shortens media life and clogs cartridges prematurely.

The transparent polycarbonate cover allows easy visual monitoring of sediment accumulation and can be removed for total cleaning. Fresh Water Systems When the bowl fills, simply open the bottom flush valve to purge collected sediment using centrifugal action — no tools, no shutting down the line, no cartridges to buy or dispose of. The polyester screen is fully reusable and can be removed, rinsed, and reinstalled in minutes.

Rusco's Spin-Down has been providing the industry-leading sediment filtration solution since 1977. SupplyHouse This filter housing is manufactured from NSF-listed, FDA-grade materials. Amazon Rusco filters are proudly made and assembled in the USA and backed by a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

Industries & Applications:

• Commercial Well Water Systems — Installed at the pressure tank outlet or pump discharge on high-capacity well systems serving farms, commercial buildings, or multi-unit housing; the 100 mesh rating targets the fine sand and silt most damaging to downstream equipment at high flow rates
• Large-Scale Irrigation & Agriculture — Protects drip tape headers, emitters, and micro-irrigation equipment on commercial farms and turf systems; the 2" size and 100 GPM capacity handles main supply lines without restricting system flow
• Geothermal & Hydronic Systems — Used as a pre-filter on open-loop geothermal systems to protect heat exchangers and pumps from fine sand and silt common in groundwater sources
• Municipal & Industrial Pre-Treatment — Installed upstream of water softeners, iron filters, UV disinfection systems, and reverse osmosis pre-treatment stages to extend media and membrane life by capturing bulk fine sediment before it reaches sensitive equipment
• Poultry & Livestock Operations — Protects automatic waterers, nipple drinkers, and fogging nozzles from fine particulate that clogs small-orifice devices; one of Rusco's historically noted application categories for this filter line
• Light Commercial & Industrial Process Water — Equipment protection on process water supply lines, cooling water circuits, and recirculating systems where fine sediment could damage pumps, valves, or precision flow control components
• Aquaculture & Recirculating Systems — High flow capacity and fine filtration make the 2-100-F a practical pre-filter for high-volume fish farming recirculating systems and pond management installations
