What makes Disc Filters Best for Irrigation Systems?
The disc filter design enables them to protect driplines and sprinklers from damage caused by clogging by sand and other particles. Driplines and sprinkler nozzles have small openings that can easily be blocked by sand if filters are not used.
How Disc Filters Work
Disc filters have a cylinder-shape made of discs joined together with grooves and two openings. The inlet allows water in, and the outlet releases filtered water out.
Water enters and the diverter distributes the dirty water evenly on the disc surface.
Water flows through the disc at high pressure, the sand particles get trapped in the disc surface. Clean water flows through the outlet to the pipes.
The use of disc filters is an effective method of removing sand particles, algae, and other debris as it traps even tiny particles.
Automatic Self-Cleaning Mechanism
Disc Water filters are designed with an automatic or self-cleaning mechanism to enhance effective filtration. The disc filters automatically clean their discs once the pressure difference reaches a certain set value. Debris through the reverse water flow thus the filter can remain effective and durable for a long time.
How to Maintain Disc Filters
Open the water filter and dissemble the discs then clean them thoroughly to remove accumulated particles.
Choosing Disc Water Filters
When choosing water filters, several factors should be considered, they include:
Water quality
Sand quality varies according to the type of water source and the content of particles in water. For high sand content, a disc filter is appropriate.
Size of the irrigation system
You will need big disc filter sizes for large irrigation systems.
Particle size
Factor in the size of the debris when deciding on the suitable filter. Choose the mesh size that can trap the debris available in your water.
Flow rate
The best filter always matches the flow rate of the irrigation system, it should match the system flow rate.
