I've used a "spin-down" type sediment trap on our well system, and they Do work, and catch alot of sediment, but maintenance is a hassle. The regular screen cleaning, shutting off the water, sediment clogging the drain ball valve, re-assembly and fixing little leaks are bummers. I saw this Lakos trap at our sponsor site that has a built in backwash feature that seems ideal. Has anybody had any experience with these? Do they work as advertised? Any problems?

I haven't tried them, but any filter that is getting plugged up is doing its job and trapping particulates. |
