Product Features
Unlike standard Y-filters or T-filters that require removal for cleaning, this filter operates with an external shaking handle. The internal mechanism scrubs the screen surface while the filter remains in line, eliminating the need for system shutdown during routine maintenance.
The filter incorporates an oversized screen element that provides increased dirt-holding capacity. This design maintains lower pressure drop under moderate sediment loads, extending intervals between cleaning operations.
The filter uses precision-woven stainless steel mesh to capture suspended particles, protecting downstream drip emitters, sprinklers, and valves from clogging. Multiple mesh sizes are available to match different water quality conditions.
The cleaning system requires no tools or specialized training. Farm workers can restore filter function by turning the handle when pressure differential increases.
The filter body is manufactured from engineering plastics with UV stabilizers, providing resistance to agricultural chemicals, sunlight exposure, and mechanical stress encountered in field conditions.
The filter supports bayonet or threaded connections to accommodate different installation requirements. The modular design facilitates integration into new or existing irrigation systems.
Product Uses
These filters function across multiple agricultural and landscape settings:
Greenhouse irrigation systems requiring regular maintenance
Small to medium farm operations with drip or sprinkler systems
Nursery operations using micro-irrigation for container plants
Field crop irrigation with drip tape or sprinklers
Landscape irrigation for parks, gardens, and commercial properties
Backup filtration for systems with primary automatic filters
Install the filter after the pump and before downstream irrigation equipment, ensuring adequate space for handle operation. Connect inlet and outlet according to flow direction arrows on the filter body, and seal threaded connections with PTFE tape. Install pressure gauges before and after the filter to monitor pressure differential.
Clean the filter when pressure differential increases by 0.5-1.0 bar from the clean condition. Turn the shaking handle several rotations to scrub the screen surface. Particles exit through the bottom drain or settle in the sump. Continue turning until resistance decreases, indicating a clean screen.
Perform weekly inspections of pressure differential readings and connection seals. For heavy sediment loads, occasional disassembly may be required for thorough cleaning. Before winter, drain the filter completely to prevent freezing damage.
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
High pressure drop after cleaning | Screen not fully cleaned | Repeat cleaning; may need disassembly |
Screen damaged | Inspect and replace screen element | |
Handle difficult to turn | Sediment buildup in mechanism | Service mechanism; may need disassembly |
Mechanical damage | Inspect and repair | |
Leaks at connections | Loose fittings | Tighten connections |
Damaged seals | Replace seals/O-rings | |
Water not cleaning effectively | Flow rate too high | Verify flow within design range |
Water quality worse than design | Clean more frequently |
FAQ
The filter contains an internal cleaning mechanism connected to the external handle. Turning the handle activates the mechanism, which scrubs the screen surface and releases trapped particles without removing the filter from the system.
No, the filter can be cleaned while water continues to flow through the system. Simply turn the handle several times without shutdown or disassembly.
Cleaning frequency depends on water quality. Monitor pressure differential and clean when it increases by 0.5-1.0 bar from the clean condition. This interval may range from daily to monthly depending on sediment levels.
S and L indicate different dimensional configurations. Both models offer the same flow capacity but have different body lengths to accommodate varying installation space requirements.
Yes, these filters work with well water containing sand. The large filtration area handles sediment loads, and the hand-operated cleaning system simplifies maintenance.
