Applications of Water Filtration in Irrigation

Irrigation filters are the most critical component for ensuring the longevity of any automated watering setup. They are absolutely vital when sourcing water from garden water butts, borehole pumps, storage tanks, or open ponds where organic matter is highly concentrated.

Setting up a sensitive low-pressure layout? Installing a robust filter is the single best way to stop dirt from plugging the microscopic emitters inside your Drip Line kits. It also prevents grit from lodging under the seals of your Manifolds and Swivel Adaptors, which can cause valves to stick open. For a seamless installation, connect these filter stations to your primary water feed using our standard BSP Threaded Fittings or heavy-duty Compression Fittings PE.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between screen filters and disc filters?

Screen filters use a single mesh layer, making them perfect for capturing inorganic debris like sand or pipe scale from clean mains water. Disc filters feature a stack of grooved plastic rings that trap organic material like algae, moss, and slime, making them the best choice for pond, well, or rainwater harvest systems.

Where should I install the filter in my irrigation system?

Your filter should always be installed at the very beginning of your system, directly after your main water isolation valve, tap, or pump outlet. This ensures that all downstream equipment, including timers, solenoid valves, and emitters, receive completely clean water.

How often do I need to clean my irrigation filter?

The cleaning frequency depends entirely on your water source. For clean mains municipal water, checking the filter once a season is usually sufficient. For boreholes, wells, or tanks, you may need to flush or rinse the cartridge every few weeks to maintain optimum flow rates.

What mesh size do I need for a drip irrigation system?

Drip irrigation systems and micro-jets require fine filtration to prevent clogging. We highly recommend using a filter rated at 120 mesh (130 microns) or higher to ensure that even the smallest silt particles are safely filtered out before reaching your drippers.
