Netafim 1-1/2" MPT - Standard Disc Filter for Lawn & Garden Irrigation

Product Overview

Contaminated water sources are the primary cause of system-wide failures in low-volume irrigation. When debris or organic matter bypasses your filtration, it results in clogged emitters, uneven turf hydration, and costly emergency service calls that pull your crews away from new installations. During the peak summer heat, a failed filter leads to rapid plant loss and frustrated clients who expect flawless performance. With global supply chain fluctuations affecting core components, securing your filtration inventory now prevents project delays and failed site inspections. Planning your stock ahead of time ensures your projects remain on schedule and your client relationships stay intact.

The Netafim Standard Disc Filter provides a significant technical advantage over screen-based alternatives that require frequent, labor-intensive cleaning. The 3D filtration process utilizes stacked plastic discs that capture significantly more sediment before requiring a flush, which reduces long-term maintenance costs for your customers. By installing a high-capacity filter from a trusted industry leader, you provide a professional-grade solution that protects sensitive drip zones and overhead sprays. Maintaining a stock of these units gives you a competitive edge by allowing for immediate repairs and reliable new system commissions.

Installation Notes

Install the filter in an accessible location with the bowl facing downward to simplify the cleaning process. Use high-quality PTFE thread seal tape on the 1-1/2 inch MPT connections to ensure a leak-proof seal; avoid over-torquing as this can stress the manifold. For systems with high organic loads, consider installing a manual or automatic flush valve on the bottom port to clear sediment without opening the housing. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention when connecting to potable water sources.
