How can I find the mesh size of my filter screen?

The mesh size is either stamped in black ink on the bottom of the filter screen or embossed on the plastic with no color.

How can I find the pipe size of my Rusco filter system?

The Rusco filter system comes in "3/4, 1, 1.5, and 2" pipe sizes. The pipe size is needed to determine which replacement filter screen you need. The pipe size number is embossed on the side of the filter body (top part of the filter) next to the "In" and "Out" arrows.

Another way to determine the pipe size is to measure the length of the filter screen to determine the filter size:
"5-1/8" Filter Screen Length = "3/4 or 1" Pipe Size
"8-1/8" Filter Screen Length = "1-1/2" Pipe Size
"10" Filter Screen Length = "2" Pipe Size

How can I tell if I have a Spin-Down or a Sediment Trapper filter?

For "3/4 & 1" Pipe Size: Spin-Down Filter Screens have four pegs on the bottom and the Sediment Trapper Filter Screens have two slots on the bottom. The Sediment Trapper clear covers are longer in the "3/4 & 1" sizes.

For "1-1/2 & 2" Pipe Size: Spin-Down Filter Screens have a long spool and Sediment Trapper Filter Screens have a short spool with a center stem.
