Why You Need a Sprinkler Pump Filter

Even if your sprinkler system is connected to a clean water source, installing a sprinkler pump filter is still good practice. Even with seemingly clean water, there are small particles that can build up in your irrigation system, clogging it up in the long run. Plus, if your system draws water from an outdoor source, sand, algae, leaves, and other particles can get into your system, clogging your pipes and sprinkler heads. A filter placed before or after the pump traps these contaminants, ensuring clean water flows through the system.

How often should you change your sprinkler pump filter?

For most sprinkler pumps, the filter can be replaced about once a year. However, this can fluctuate, depending on the water quality and how often your system runs. To ensure that your pump is in top shape, check the filter every month during seasons when you’re running the sprinkler system regularly. If you notice reduced water pressure or flow to your sprinkler heads, it may be time for a new filter.

What are wye strainers?

Irrigation wye strainers (or Y-strainers) are a type of mechanical filter that helps remove debris from your water. Named for their Y-shaped design, they usually contain a mesh screen or strainer that catches particles as water flows through. Wye strainers have a simple design, with one leg of the "Y" housing the screen and a cap or plug for easy cleaning.

What is an irrigation basket strainer?

A basket strainer is a type of filter used in large-scale irrigation systems to remove large pieces of debris from the water before it enters your valves. The basket-shaped screen allows for higher flow rates. These sprinkler pump filters are ideal for agricultural, commercial, and other high-volume systems, especially those drawing water from unfiltered water sources, like lakes or wells.
