Irrigation filtration (disc, screen, media)
What is a irrigation filtration (disc, screen, media)?
Irrigation filters protect emitters by removing particles: screens strain, stacked discs filter through depth, and media beds trap fine material and organics. The right type depends on the water analysis; filtration does not remove dissolved salts.

Advantages
- Protects emitters and dosing equipment
- Automatic backwash reduces labour
- Modular sizing
Limitations and risks
- Pressure loss across filters
- Backwash uses water
- Does not treat dissolved salts or iron
Maintenance
- Clean or backwash on pressure differential
- Inspect discs, screens and media
- Replace media on schedule
Sustainability and compliance
Size to minimise backwash water; recover backwash where possible.
