Netafim 3/4" MPT - Standard Disc Filter for Lawn & Garden Irrigation

Product Overview

Clogged emitters and uneven distribution uniformity are the silent killers of a profitable irrigation season. When filtration fails in a low volume system, your crew spends hours flushing lines and replacing plugged drippers instead of moving to the next job site. With summer temperatures rising and plant stress peaking, a single weekend of system downtime can result in costly plant loss and damaged client relationships. Supply chain volatility often makes these specialized 3/4 inch filters difficult to source exactly when you need them most. Securing your inventory now ensures that your installs remain operational and your maintenance callbacks stay at zero during the busiest months of the year.

The Netafim Standard Disc Filter provides a significant technical advantage over traditional screen filters. While screen filters often trap debris only on the surface, this disc-based design utilizes a multi-dimensional filtration process that captures significantly more organic and inorganic material before requiring a cleaning cycle. This equates to longer run times between maintenance visits and reduced labor costs for your service department. By choosing a professional grade Netafim solution over consumer grade alternatives, you provide your clients with a rugged, field tested component that protects their landscape investment and cements your reputation as a high quality contractor.

• Depth filtration technology captures grit and organic debris within the disc grooves for superior protection compared to screens.
• Tool-free maintenance allows your crews to quickly unscrew the filter cover for cleaning without specialized equipment.
• High flow capacity design minimizes pressure loss across the filter to ensure downstream emitters operate at their design pressure.
• Interchangeable disc rings allow for easy adjustment of filtration levels if water quality conditions change at the site.
• UV resistant housing ensures the filter body remains durable even when installed in above ground valve box configurations or exposed environments.

Common Applications

• Residential lawn and garden systems
• Greenhouse and nursery operations
• Commercial landscape irrigation
• Drip and micro-irrigation zones

Installation Notes

Install the filter on the discharge side of the zone valve with the flow arrow pointing in the direction of the emitters. Use high quality TEFLON tape or a non-hardening thread sealant on the MPT connections to ensure a leak-free seal. For systems with high sediment loads, installing the filter in an accessible location is critical for routine maintenance and manual flushing. Always verify that the maximum system pressure does not exceed 120 PSI to prevent damage to the filter housing or internal disc stack.
