Raindrip Y Filter - 3/4in - 720 GPH

Raindrip Y Filter - 3/4in - 720 GPH - 150 Mesh Nylon Filtration for Drip Systems

The Raindrip Y Filter removes particulates from your drip irrigation water supply before they can clog emitters, drippers, and micro tubing. The 150 mesh nylon filter element captures debris efficiently, and the Y-shaped housing provides easy access to the filter for periodic cleaning. With a maximum flow capacity of 720gph and a swivel hose/pipe thread coupling included, this Y filter is a practical upstream protection component for any drip or micro irrigation system.

Key Features & Benefits

• 150 mesh nylon filter - Captures fine particulates before they reach and clog emitters and micro tubing.
• 720gph maximum flow rate - Handles high-volume drip and garden irrigation systems without restricting flow.
• 3/4in Y-filter housing - Standard 3/4in connection fits common drip system inlets and hose thread fittings.
• Includes hose/pipe thread swivel coupling - Connects to both hose and pipe thread water sources.
• Cleanable filter element - Y-body design allows periodic removal and cleaning of the filter screen.

Who Should Use This

Ideal for drip irrigation users who draw water from sources prone to sediment, such as wells, ponds, or older municipal water lines. Installing a Y filter upstream of your drip system protects emitters and extends system life significantly.

Compatibility

3/4in connections with included swivel coupling for hose and pipe thread water sources. 150 mesh nylon filter element. Maximum 720gph flow rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a filter on my drip irrigation system?

Even clean municipal water can carry fine sediment and particles that build up inside drip emitters and micro tubing over time, causing clogging and uneven watering. A Y filter intercepts these particles before they enter the system.

How often do I need to clean the filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on your water quality. Check the filter screen periodically - typically at the start and end of each growing season - and clean it whenever visible debris has accumulated.

What mesh size is the filter?

The filter uses a 150 mesh nylon screen, which captures particles fine enough to block drip emitters and micro tubing orifices.

Can this filter handle my system's flow rate?

Yes - this Y filter is rated for up to 720gph, which exceeds the typical demand of most residential and light commercial drip irrigation systems.
