Rusco Sediment Trapper 34-100st-f Hey everyone, Tony the Filter Doctor here.
Today we’re looking at the Rusco 34-100st-f. This is a ¾ inch female pipe thread inlet/outlet
sediment trapper with a 100 mesh polyester screen element. Now, 100 mesh is equal to
about 152 microns, so this unit is aimed at medium to large size particulate and sediment.
Every Rusco system features that powerful cyclone action which drives sediment to the
bottom of the housing and reduces clogging on the filter screen itself.
Now, this one is a sediment trapper, so it has a large reservoir under the filter element
where it will collect and hold that sediment, and like all Rusco filters, with a quick twist
of the flush valve you can purge the unit out and get yourself back in business. You’re
rarely going to need to disassemble the unit and clean the element itself.
Now, a quick note on this flush valve; when installing it, be sure that you leave a few
threads showing, 2 to 3 threads should remain visible. Do not bury the threads all the way
in this fill valve, or you will break it. It’s going to break if you bury the threads.
Leave a couple of threads showing and it will seal up correctly and it will function the
way you want it to without breaking. So that’s an important safety note.
Now, this unit has a polyester filter element, which is more economical than the stainless
steel unit available in all of the Rusco systems. The stainless steel element is only necessary
in applications that are susceptible to water hammer. If you don’t have that problem,
then the polyester is going to be a great choice.
Now, this one has ¾ inch female pipe thread standard size inlet/outlet, so it’s very
versatile, it can be attached nearly anywhere. Use it as a pre-filter before your water softener,
as a pre-filter before a multi-stage filter system, or literally anywhere either treated
or untreated water where you have a sediment problem and you need or want an infinitely
reusable and washable filter element. These Rusco systems are highly durable and
versatile, I love them! Again, this is the Rusco 34-100st-f with ¾
inch female pipe thread inlet/outlet. It’s the sediment trapper variety with a 100 mesh
polyester screen element. I’m your host Tony the Filter Doctor.
Thanks for watching.
