Overview
iSpring WSP-GR Reusable Spin-down Sediment Water Filter with Scraper and 360° Rotating Head
This central water purification pre-filter is mainly used to filter out particulate impurities, sediment, rust, floating objects, and other pollutants in the water. It plays an active role in protecting terminal equipment and appliances such as downstream pipelines, water purifiers, water heaters, wall-hung boilers, washing machines, and showerheads.
The iSpring WSP-GR should be installed as a pre-filter and it is flushable and reusable. With just a toggle of a switch, particles trapped in the filter can be flushed out without needing to shut down the water supply first.
A diagram illustrates a whole house water filtration system. It shows a UV sterilizer labeled 'UVF55 ultraviolet light' connected to a series of filter housings labeled 'WGB32B whole house water filter for varied filtration solutions'. These housings contain filter cartridges labeled 'FC25B', 'FC25B', and 'FP25B'. The system also includes a reusable sediment filter labeled 'WSP50GR reusable sediment filter'.
Product Features
- Large water capacity, using food grade stainless steel precision mesh membrane.
- Patented integrated flushing technology, which can effectively remove all kinds of impurities trapped by the filter for more effective cleaning and washing without the need to remove the filter.
- Core components made of materials that are strong in pressure resistance, safe, and reliable.
- Special explosion-proof transparent housing provides clear visibility and is intuitive and convenient to use.
- Unique cleaning features make it convenient to remove contaminant buildup from the filter and filter housing with just a few turns.
- Universal fittings make installation easier and can adapt to more applications.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- This system must be installed in a dry indoor environment away from heat sources.
- This system is only suitable for 5-40 °C municipal tap water; please do not use with waste water and corrosive liquids.
- During installation, it's important to ensure that the direction of water flow marked on the valve body is consistent with the flow direction of the pipeline.
- The installation location must provide a reliable drainage system.
- Depending on water quality, it is necessary to flush the filter screen at least once a month.
- Take care to protect the components during regular cleaning and maintenance.

How to Install
To suit different plumbing sizes, the unit comes with two types of threads on both ends: 1 inch MNPT and ½ inch FNPT. Please pay attention to the flow direction indicated by the arrow.
- Close the main inlet valve and drain the remaining water from the pipe.
- When installing, please be sure that the direction of water flow marked on the valve body aligns with the direction of water flow in the pipeline.
- After the filter is installed, the filter housing assembly must be kept upright.
Apply Teflon tape
- PPR pipeline installation requires special welding equipment and requires firm welding.
- This product should not be installed outdoors. It should be located away from direct sun light, heat sources, fuel oils, and various chemicals.
- Make sure to apply Teflon tape evenly.
- When tightening the hex nut with a wrench, make sure that other parts are not turning with it.
- After the filter is installed, carefully observe whether there is water leakage at the joints.
An exploded view diagram shows the components of the iSpring WSP-GR filter. From top to bottom, these include: a pressure gauge, the machine head, a front cover, an O-ring, the filter mesh, the drain valve, the scraping assembly, and the filter housing.
Product Instructions
- After installation, open the inlet water main valve to perform a flush.
- Before flushing, ensure that there is a reliable drainage system. You can also flush the drain water into a suitable container.
- Simply turn the ball valve knob counterclockwise by 90°, then turn the scraper knob clockwise or counterclockwise for 3 to 4 times to clean and drain the filter housing.
- Depending on the quality of the incoming water, flush at least once a month, and toggle the ball valve switch 3 times, flushing for 30 seconds each time.
- Clean the filter cartridge after it has been used continuously for 8-12 months. It is recommended that it be cleaned by professional maintenance personnel.
Disassembling the Filter Cartridge
- If normal scraping or rinsing cannot remove the buildup on the filter mesh, hence affecting water output, it is recommended to remove the filter assembly.
- Unscrew the filter housing counterclockwise using the included wrench.
- Remove the filter assembly and clean the filter mesh.
Note: No need to remove the scraping assembly if only cleaning the filter assembly.
A diagram illustrates the disassembly of the filter cartridge. It shows the filter housing, the filter assembly with its mesh, and the scraping assembly, with arrows indicating the order of removal.
Installing the Scraping and the Filter Assembly
- When inserting the scraping assembly into the filter housing, the quadrilateral hole with rounded corners on the scraping assembly should be inserted into the hexagonal hole on the bottom of the filter housing and inserted into the bottom.
- When installing the filter assembly, note that the four bumps on the filter assembly inside the scraper assembly should be placed on the four grooves on the upper filter housing and inserted into the bottom.
Diagrams show the process of installing the scraping and filter assembly. One diagram depicts inserting the scraping assembly into the filter housing, aligning a quadrilateral hole with rounded corners to a hexagonal hole. Another diagram shows placing the filter assembly onto the scraper assembly, aligning four bumps on the filter assembly with four grooves on the upper filter housing.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Causes | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| No water | Does the water source have water? Is the inlet water valve open? |
Wait for water to come back on. Open the inlet valve. |
| Low outlet flow | Is the inlet water valve fully open? The surface of the filter is partially blocked. |
Fully open the inlet valve. Flush the filter mesh to remove debris. |
| Water leakage at the joint | Have filter parts been disassembled? Loose parts at the leaking location. Not enough Teflon tape on the threads. O-rings at the leaking location are damaged. |
Check if the seal is misaligned or missing. Retighten the threaded joint with a wrench. Reapply Teflon tape and tighten. Replace O-rings. |
| Does not display pressure values | Pressure gauge damaged. Is the inlet water valve open? |
Replace pressure gauge. Open the inlet valve. |
