Filter Assembly - 2 Inch

Q: Why are multiple filters (hydro cyclone and screen) used together?
A: The hydro cyclone filter removes coarse particles like sand and silt, while the screen filter traps smaller debris for comprehensive filtration and extended emitter life.

Q: What is the role of the non-return valve?
A: It prevents contaminated water or chemicals from flowing backward, protecting pumps and fertilizer tanks from contamination.

Q: How is fertilizer injected into the system?
A: Through venturi injectors (1" or 2"), which use water pressure differentials to draw liquid fertilizer safely into the irrigation line; no additional pumps are required.

Q: Why is an air and vacuum release valve needed?
A: This valve automatically releases trapped air and prevents vacuum formation, which can cause pipe collapse or irregular water flow.

Q: How does the flanged head control unit help?
A: It centralizes control for pressure monitoring, connects all main components, and ensures ease of maintenance.

Q: What routine maintenance is necessary?
A: Regularly clean the screen and hydro cyclone filters, check and calibrate the pressure gauge, and periodically flush the venturi injector and non-return valve to prevent clogging.

Q: Is special hardware needed for assembly?
A: Yes, 2" flange sets with washers, nuts, and bolts are used to connect all filter components tightly and prevent leaks.

Q: How do I know if the system is working correctly?
A: Monitor the pressure gauge for recommended operating pressure, inspect for leaks at flanged joints, and ensure clear flow through the filters after cleaning.
