Product Information

Full details

This HydroSure Essential In-Line Filter is designed for gardeners and landscapers looking to protect their irrigation system components from sediment damage. Its primary benefit is prolonging the life of emitters and valves by trapping particulate matter, though users should be aware that the 80-mesh screen requires periodic cleaning to maintain optimal water flow. The filter features an 80-mesh screen for effective sediment capture and a 14mm barbed connection for easy integration into standard irrigation lines.

FAQs

What does '80 mesh' mean?

An 80-mesh screen has 80 holes per linear inch, indicating a fine level of filtration suitable for most drip irrigation needs.

How often should I clean the filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on your water quality. For clear water, check monthly. For water with more sediment, check more often, perhaps weekly, until you establish a regular cleaning schedule.

Can this filter be used with larger diameter tubing?

This specific model is designed for 14mm barbed connections. You may need a different filter model or adapter for other tubing sizes.

Will this filter remove dissolved minerals or chemicals?

No, this filter is designed to remove particulate matter (sediment, grit, rust). It will not remove dissolved solids, salts, or chemicals.

What is the lifespan of this filter?

With regular cleaning and proper use, the filter housing can last for many years. The screen's lifespan depends on the level of sediment it captures.

Is this filter suitable for pressure washers?

This filter is designed for low-pressure irrigation systems and is not intended for use with high-pressure equipment like pressure washers.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow from emitters

Disconnect and clean the filter screen. Check for any kinks or blockages in the connected tubing.

Filter leaks at connection points

Ensure the barbed ends are fully inserted into the 14mm tubing. For a more secure fit, consider using hose clamps if the tubing allows.

Filter screen is damaged

Replace the filter unit. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for a replacement part.
