Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply cut your 13mm or 16mm tubing at the desired location and insert the filter into the line, ensuring the flow direction (usually marked on the housing) matches your water path. The filter is compatible with standard garden irrigation accessories. To clean, unscrew the housing, rinse the mesh screen under running water, and remove any accumulated mineral deposits or silt. Ensure the O-ring remains in place during reassembly to prevent leaks. Inspect the filter screen monthly during the growing season to ensure optimal water pressure throughout your garden.
