Protect emitters, lines, valves, and pumps from fouling.

Low maintenance means fewer interruptions and better water efficiency.

Q: What does a screen filter do in a drip irrigation system?
A: A screen filter removes debris like sand, dirt, and rust from the water before it enters your drip lines, preventing clogging of emitters and extending the life of your system.

Q: How does the semi-automatic cleaning feature work?
A: The filter has a manual flushing mechanism (usually a crank or knob) and a pressure differential indicator. When the filter is dirty, the indicator rises, and you can activate the flush to clean the screen without removing it or stopping water flow.

Q: Is this filter suitable for well water or river water?
A: Yes, it's effective for sediment-heavy water sources like wells or canals, but for extremely dirty water, a pre-filter or disc filter may also be recommended.

Q: How often do I need to clean the screen filter?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on water quality and flow rate. The pressure indicator will let you know when it’s time to clean, but a general rule is every 1–2 weeks in moderate use.

Q: What size pipe connections does the SF 2″ filter support?
A: It uses 2-inch Male Thread Adapter (MTA) or MNPT connections, compatible with standard drip irrigation setups.

Q: Can it be installed horizontally or vertically?
A: Yes, the screen filter is designed for flexible orientation—horizontal or vertical—as long as the flow direction is maintained correctly.

Q: Does it reduce water pressure in the system?
A: It has a minimal pressure drop when clean. If regularly maintained, it will not significantly affect system pressure.

Q: What is the mesh size of the screen?
A: This model includes a 120-mesh stainless steel screen, ideal for fine filtration in most drip irrigation systems.

Q: Is the filter reusable and long-lasting?
A: Yes, the screen is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and the housing is durable polymer, designed for multiple seasons of use with proper care.
