In-Line Irrigation Filters – Precision Protection for Micro-Emitters (Bag of 10)

In-Line Irrigation Filters – Precision Protection for Micro-Emitters (Bag of 10)

The longevity of a precision irrigation system depends entirely on the cleanliness of the nutrient solution. Our In-Line Filters are the first line of defence against debris, sediment, and organic particles that can easily clog micro-sprays, micro-sprinklers, and drippers. Designed specifically for use with Low-Density Poly (LDPE) pipe, these filters ensure that only clean, filtered water reaches your individual plant sites. By preventing blockages at the source, you eliminate "dry spots" in your grow room and reduce the time spent on troubleshooting and manual emitter maintenance, ensuring your crop receives a consistent and uninterrupted feed cycle.

Best For: Protecting micro-irrigation networks, preventing blockages in 4mm feeder lines, and ensuring the smooth operation of precision drip and spray emitters.

Key Features

• High-Efficiency Particulate Filtering: Effectively traps fine sediment and debris before it can enter smaller lateral lines, protecting the delicate internal mechanisms of micro-fittings and Hydro Halos.
• Dual-Barbed Connection: Engineered with aggressive, high-tensile barbs on both ends for a secure, leak-proof in-line installation that stays tight under standard system pressures.
• UV-Stabilised Performance: Manufactured from premium, horticultural-grade polymers designed to withstand intense HID/LED grow lighting and direct sunlight without becoming brittle or cracking.
• Straight-Through Design: Optimized for low-density poly systems to provide essential filtration with minimal impact on flow rate, maintaining the head pressure required for consistent emitter performance.
• Opaque Algae Prevention: The deep black pigmentation blocks 100% of light penetration, preventing algae from colonising the filter housing and protecting your downstream lines from organic contamination.
• Low-Maintenance Reliability: A robust, non-corrosive solution for protecting automated fertigation systems from the mineral salts and sediment found in many nutrient reservoirs.

Available Sizes

• 13mm Inline Filter (Bag of 10): The standard choice for secondary distribution lines and smaller horticultural setups.
• 19mm Inline Filter (Bag of 10): Ideal for medium-flow supply lines and larger grow room manifold systems.

Specifications

• Material: High-Impact Polypropylene / UV-Resistant Polymer
• Fitting Type: In-Line Barbed Filter
• Compatibility: Low-Density Poly Pipe (LDPE) and Drip Tube only
• Quantity: 10 Pieces per Bag
• Colour: Black (Light-Proof)

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Upstream Placement: For maximum protection, install the filter as close to the pump or main supply valve as possible. This ensures that the entire distribution network downstream is protected from blockages.
• Thermal Seating: For the easiest installation, dip the ends of the poly pipe in hot water for 15 seconds. This softens the pipe, allowing it to slide fully over the filter barbs for a "shrink-wrapped" seal as it cools.
• Directional Flow: Ensure the filter is installed in the correct orientation relative to your water flow. Periodically inspect the filters during reservoir changes to check for sediment build-up and flush or replace if necessary to maintain optimal flow.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Micro-Spray Protection: Preventing grit from clogging the fine orifices of micro-jets and 360-degree sprinklers.
• Drip Irrigation: Maintaining uniform flow across hundreds of individual drippers in high-density multi-pot systems.
• Propagation Trays: Ensuring that delicate misting or fogging systems remain operational during critical rooting phases.
