Netafim 1" MPT - Standard Disc Filter for Lawn & Garden Irrigation
Product Overview
Compromised filtration leads to clogged emitters, uneven watering, and costly turf replacement during the peak of the growing season. When a low-quality filter fails or bypasses sediment, your crews are forced into emergency service calls while summer heat puts your clients' landscapes at risk. With seasonal demand surging and supply chain fluctuations making inventory unpredictable, securing high-performance filtration now is the only way to avoid project delays or failed inspections. Planning ahead with robust filtration ensures your systems stay operational and your clients remain satisfied throughout the hottest months of the year.
The Netafim 1 inch MPT Standard Disc Filter offers a significant technical advantage over mesh screens that tear or collapse under pressure. This disc technology provides a three dimensional filtration process that captures far more debris before requiring a manual flush, effectively reducing long term maintenance intervals and labor costs. By choosing a professional grade solution from Netafim USA, you provide your installs with a superior safety margin against poor water quality. Maintaining a well-stocked inventory of these units gives you a distinct competitive edge when bidding on residential and light commercial projects where reliability is non-negotiable.

Installation Notes
Install the filter downstream of the master valve and before the zone valves to protect the entire system, ensuring the flow direction matches the arrow on the filter body. Use professional grade PTFE thread seal tape on the MPT connections to prevent leaks, but avoid over-tightening which can stress the plastic threads. For systems with high sediment loads, consider installing an upstream blow-out valve to assist with periodic manual cleaning per manufacturer recommendations.
