Merrill FS1-140 1" 140-Mesh Sediment Spin Down Polyester Replacement Element

Overview

The Merrill FS1-140 1" 140-Mesh Sediment Spin Down Polyester Replacement Element is a key component designed for efficient sediment removal in water systems. This replacement element features a larger reservoir to capture more particulate matter and utilizes a centrifuge spin-down action to separate sediment effectively. Its unique design traps sediment in the lower reservoir of the clear cover, allowing for easy visual monitoring and quick removal via a bottom ball valve.

This replacement element directly addresses the need for effective sediment filtration, preventing damage and clogging in downstream plumbing and equipment. Its spin-down mechanism enhances sediment separation, contributing to longer filter life and reduced maintenance frequency. The clear cover provides immediate visual feedback on sediment accumulation, empowering professionals to manage their water systems proactively and efficiently.

Engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, the Merrill FS1-140 is designed for 1" pipe systems and boasts a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi at 73°F. The 140-mesh polyester screen ensures effective filtration, and the clear cover can be easily removed by hand for thorough cleaning, emphasizing user-friendly maintenance for busy professionals.

Applications

Ideal for professional plumbers and water treatment specialists maintaining sediment filtration systems. Essential as a replacement element in Merrill spin-down sediment filters installed in residential, commercial, and agricultural water systems. Suitable for pre-filtration in irrigation systems and industrial water processes where efficient removal of larger sediment particles is crucial. Recommended for professionals seeking a low-maintenance and visually monitored sediment removal solution.

Performance and Characteristics

The 140-mesh polyester screen effectively captures larger sediment particles, while the spin-down design enhances the separation of these particles into the lower reservoir, extending the time between cleanings. The clear cover provides immediate visual confirmation of sediment accumulation, allowing for timely maintenance. The tool-free removal of the clear cover simplifies the cleaning process, reducing downtime and ensuring optimal filtration performance. This replacement element is engineered for reliable and efficient sediment management in demanding professional environments.

Additional Information

The Merrill FS1-140 replacement element is designed for easy installation into compatible Merrill 1" spin-down sediment filter housings. Its larger reservoir capacity is a significant advantage in systems with higher sediment loads, reducing the frequency of flushing. The hand-tightening requirement for the clear cover ensures proper sealing without the risk of over-tightening and potential damage (note: use of tools voids the warranty). This element offers a practical and efficient solution for maintaining clean water flow and protecting valuable downstream equipment for professional users.
