Netafim™ Manual Disc Filter - 3/4in - 140 Mesh - 1-12 GPM - 140 PSI - For Foggers

Manual Disc Filter for Fine Fogger Nozzle Protection, 3/4in

Drippers, spray stakes, misters, and sprinklers all clog eventually if particulate in the water supply isn't screened out before it reaches the emitter, and the mesh size needed depends on which emitter type is downstream. Netafim's manual disc filter uses a stack of grooved discs to trap sediment while maintaining flow, and it's available in the port size and mesh rating matched to different emitter types.

This 3/4in version steps up to a 140-mesh disc stack, the finer filtration fogger nozzles need given their smaller orifice size compared to drippers or sprinklers, rated for 1-12 GPM at up to 140 PSI.

Key Features & Benefits

• 140-mesh disc stack — provides the finer sediment screening fogger nozzles need due to their smaller orifice size.
• 1-12 GPM flow range — covers typical feed-line flow rates for a fogger zone.
• 140 PSI rated housing — withstands standard feed-line operating pressures without leaking at the seal.
• 3/4in port size — matches common feed-line branch connections for zone-level filtration.

Who Should Use This

This filter fits growers protecting drippers, spray stakes, misters, sprinklers, or foggers from sediment clogging at the point where a feed line branches off a larger irrigation system.

About Netafim

Netafim is an Israeli irrigation company credited with commercializing drip irrigation, and its manual disc filter line protects its dripper, sprinkler, mister, and fogger product families from sediment-related clogging.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a disc filter work

Water passes through a stack of grooved discs that trap sediment particles larger than the filter's mesh rating while letting clean water and smaller particles through. Discs can be pulled apart and rinsed clean when the filter needs servicing.

How often should I clean this filter

Check it periodically based on your water source's sediment load; a well or pond source generally needs more frequent cleaning than municipal water. A drop in downstream flow or pressure is usually the first sign the discs need rinsing.

Where does this filter install in my system

It installs in-line on the feed line ahead of the emitters it's protecting, typically right after the main zone valve. Placing it upstream of the emitters is what keeps sediment from ever reaching the drippers, sprinklers, misters, or foggers downstream.

Why do foggers need a finer mesh than sprinklers or drippers

Fogger nozzles have smaller orifices than most drippers or sprinklers, so a smaller sediment particle that would pass harmlessly through a sprinkler can clog a fogger nozzle. The 140-mesh rating screens finer particles to match that tighter orifice size.
