Small Mesh Filter 1" (120 mesh), 5 m3/hour, 152 cm2

Why this filter is a staple for your irrigation system

If you prefer to set up your drip tape or sprinkler lines efficiently at the start of the season, this filter is your best partner. The 120-mesh screen is the industry standard for most drip irrigation setups, effectively capturing sand and organic debris that would otherwise clog emitters and cause uneven watering. With a flow rate of 5 m³/hour, it perfectly handles the needs of a small farm plot or a medium-sized greenhouse.

Operation and Maintenance

The design is straightforward: the detachable housing allows you to pull out the cartridge in minutes without any specialized tools. The stainless steel or high-grade polymer screen is easy to clean under running water. The key is to monitor the pressure drop; if the gauge reading downstream starts to drop, it's time for a quick rinse. During peak season, I recommend checking the cartridge weekly, especially if you draw water from open ponds or reservoirs.

• Maintainability: The body is made from high-impact, UV-resistant plastic built to withstand constant line pressure. Spare O-rings are inexpensive and can be found at any plumbing hardware store.
• Installation: The 1-inch thread makes it compatible with almost any standard piping layout. Its compact design allows it to fit into narrow technical pits or directly on supply lines inside a greenhouse.
• Durability: The 152 cm² filtration surface area provides enough buffer room to prevent rapid clogging, even when dealing with moderately turbid water.

This isn't a component you need to worry about daily. Once installed and properly calibrated, it simply does its job until the end of the season, provided you clear the screen periodically.
