Vu-Flow Spin-Down sediment filters
Sand and debris are one of the most common reasons heads, nozzles and valves clog. A Vu-Flow Spin-Down filter on your supply line stops it before it gets into your sprinkler system.
Do you need a filter?
If your system draws from a well, pond, lake, canal or reclaimed water line, the water carries sand, silt and debris. Over time that clogs nozzles, wears out valve seals and leaves dry spots. Clogging from water quality isn't covered by any repair warranty, so a filter is the best way to protect your system and your repairs.
Signs your system needs one
- Nozzles clog again soon after cleaning
- Sand in the heads or valve boxes
- Valves that stick open or weep
- Spray patterns that slowly shrink
Why we install Vu-Flow
Vu-Flow Spin-Down filters are made by Vu-Flow Filters, a family-owned company in Brooksville, Florida.
- Clear cover. You can see at a glance when it needs cleaning.
- Easy flushing. Open the valve at the bottom of the cover to flush out sediment.
- Reusable screens. Washable polyester or stainless steel screens in a range of mesh sizes, so there are no cartridges to keep buying.
- Sized for your system. Models in 1, 1½ and 2 inch sizes, matched to your system's flow.
- Sand Separator option. For sandy wells, a separator element collects sand in the bottom of the cover.
Vu-Flow models
Which Vu-Flow filter is right for you?
Vu-Flow Spin-Down filters are sized by pipe size and flow. We check your system's flow and pick the right model and screen.
| Vu-Flow model | Pipe size | Flow range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spin-Down NT 100 | 1″ | 1–25 GPM | Most homes on a well or small pump |
| Spin-Down NT 150 | 1 ½″ | 10–50 GPM | Larger lawns and lake or canal pumps |
| Spin-Down NT 200 | 2″ | 18–100 GPM | High-flow pumps and commercial systems |
| Sand Separator (1″, 1 ½″, 2″) | 1″ to 2″ | 1–100 GPM | Sandy wells. Collects sand in the bottom of the clear cover |
Screens come in a range of mesh sizes, from 24 mesh for coarse debris to 200 mesh and finer for silt, in polyester or stainless steel. Systems over 100 GPM use two or more Vu-Flow filters side by side.
Caring for your Vu-Flow filter
- Look through the clear cover. When you see sediment building up, it's time to flush.
- Open the ball valve at the bottom of the cover for a few seconds to flush the sediment out, then close it.
- For a full cleaning, unscrew the clear cover by hand. No tools needed, and tools can void the Vu-Flow warranty.
- Rinse the screen, check the O-ring, and hand-tighten the cover back on.
