What is the filter in an irrigation sprinkler head

ON 25 . Dec . 2023

The filter is one of the key components in the irrigation system. It is used to prevent impurities, particles and other harmful substances from entering the sprinkler head and keep the water flow clean and stable.

Purpose and function

The main purpose of the filter is to prevent impurities and particles in the irrigation system from entering the nozzle holes of the sprinkler, thereby avoiding clogging and affecting the uniformity of the water flow. This is critical to ensuring the proper functioning of your irrigation system, increasing irrigation efficiency, and extending the life of your sprinkler heads.

filter type

There are many types of filters available for irrigation systems, including screen filters, centrifugal filters, sand tank filters, and more. Choosing the appropriate filter type depends on the quality of your water source, the size of your irrigation system, and your specific use needs.

Mesh Filter: A filter that uses a fine mesh or mesh basket to capture smaller particles and is suitable for relatively clean water sources. Common mesh sizes include 50, 100, 200 mesh, etc. Choose the appropriate mesh size according to the size of particles in the water.

Centrifugal filter: A filter that uses the centrifugal force of water flow to separate particulate matter from water. Suitable for treating water sources with larger particles.

Sand tank filter: By designing a structure with a sand tank, the water flow is slowed down and the particles are deposited at the bottom of the sand tank. This type of filter is suitable for situations where the water source contains larger particles.

filter material

Filters are usually made of corrosion-resistant, high-pressure-resistant, and easy-to-clean materials to ensure their stability over long periods of use. Common filter materials include stainless steel, plastic, and corrosion-resistant coated metal.

Cleaning and maintenance

Filters require regular cleaning and maintenance to maintain their effectiveness. The frequency of cleaning depends on the water quality of the water source. Some advanced filters even have automatic cleaning functions and can be cleaned as needed.

Damped rotating sprinkler

The product has lower pneumatic pressure, lower sprinkler irrigation intensity, stronger reliability and excellent wind resistance; The damping structure solves the problem of water droplets caused by the shaking of the vertical rod when the rocker nozzle rotates, and the rotation is stable.
