120 Mesh - Filter Type : Disc - Inlet/Outlet Size : 1" MPT

Irrigation system filters are essential components that help protect your irrigation system from clogging and damage by trapping particulate matter and debris. Here's a summary of key points regarding irrigation filters:

Importance of Irrigation Filters

• Necessity: Every irrigation system, regardless of the cleanliness of the water source, requires a filter. Filters act as cheap insurance against debris, preventing clogging of drip emitters and ensuring the longevity of the system.

Types of Filters and Their Applications

• Filtration Requirements: Different irrigation products have specific filtration needs. For example, rotors and sprinkler spray nozzles require a minimum filtration of 80 mesh, while drip emitters, sprayers, and spray jets need at least 120 mesh. Drip tape requires a minimum of 155 mesh..

• Canister Filters: These are recommended for clean water situations and are designed for easy cleaning. The filter screen can be removed without disassembling the head assembly, simplifying maintenance.

Considerations When Choosing Filters

• Ease of Cleaning: Most filters are designed for easy cleaning, but some, like inline hose filters, may require disconnection from the head assembly for access. Canister filters are highlighted for their ease of cleaning.

• Clearance at Faucet: For residential systems connected to outdoor faucets, it's important to consider the clearance between the faucet and the ground. The assembly may include additional components like a timer, backflow preventer, pressure regulator, and tubing adapter.
