Irrigation Filters

As environmental concerns continue to rise, the importance of managing water as a precious resource becomes increasingly clear, particularly in relation to cultivating fresh produce for consumption. Advances in technology now allow us to utilize water more effectively, whether by recycling it from various processes or by tapping into deeper underground sources. However, regardless of the source, it is essential to filter the water to eliminate any impurities and particulates that could negatively impact crop health or obstruct irrigation systems such as drip lines and sprinkler nozzles.

Irrigation Filters are a vital part of irrigation systems. The number one cause of irrigation system breakdowns is the tiny particles found in even clean appearing water. Irrigation System filtration will pay for itself many times in savings on repairs.

The most common problem with irrigation systems without a irrigation filters is sprinkler heads getting plugged with sediment, including small particles of sand, silt, debris and organic matter. Even small particles of sand, dirt or organic matter can plug a sprinkler head which will then cause a dry or dead spot in the turf or field.

The second problem is that sediment will eventually damage the components of the irrigation system. Irrigation filters manage this problem.

Porous Metal Filters produces a wide range of sintered and non-sintered filter elements for all types of commercial irrigation systems in the irrigation filtration market.
