PP Y-filter
protect your irrigation system from contamination and damage
A filter is needed when dirt particles can clog system components or cause a malfunction. A filter protects the systems, extends their service life and reduces maintenance.
Our models in brief:
The Y-filter from PlasticAlfa does not have a direct drain option. This is available from 3/4" to 2" and with a stainless steel mesh.
Type D is already equipped with a drain opening and is supplied with a matching cap. Type D includes the external thread with 3/4" and 1". You can choose between a disc filter or a stainless steel mesh
Type E is already equipped with a drain hole and is supplied with a matching cap. Type D includes the external thread with 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". You can choose between a disc filter or a stainless steel mesh.
Which filter is right for your project?
Stainless steel mesh filter:
A fine metal sieve filters floating particles and dirt out of the water. These filters are perfect as pre-filters to remove coarse dirt. The filter mesh is washed off during cleaning.
Disc filters:
The disc filter has a larger filter area than the stainless steel filter of the same size. This means that the filter performance is significantly higher and the maintenance and cleaning intervals are shorter. This is particularly advantageous in sandy water. Backwashing is not possible with our models. When cleaning, the discs can be removed individually and cleaned very easily by removing a component from the filter cartridge.
What is a mesh/mesh?
A mesh (unit of mesh size) indicates the linearly arranged openings per inch of a sieve or aperture: a 10-mesh sieve has 10 openings, while a 300-mesh sieve has 300 openings available per inch. The fineness of the screen or sieve depends on the thickness of the wire mesh. A wire used for a 10-mesh sieve is thicker than one used for a 60-mesh sieve; a thin wire cannot be used for a thick sieve and a thick wire cannot be used for a thin sieve.
