Irrigation filters, valves, controllers and fittings
Screen, disc or media filter: how to choose for irrigation
Identify the water source and contaminants before selecting a filter type for drip irrigation.
When to use this reference
Use this comparison when borehole, river, pond or tank water is treated as if it had the same sand, solids and organic load. The goal is to separate confirmed project facts from commercial assumptions before comparing models or requesting a quotation.
Technical checks
Screens retain defined particles, discs provide depth filtration and media filters handle higher organic loads; separators and combinations may be required according to analysis and flow. Record the source of every value and treat missing data as pending, never as a confirmed default.
- Observe water in different seasons.
- Analyze sand, solids and organic matter.
- Confirm maximum flow and available pressure.
- Plan manual or automatic backwashing.
