Dramm® Inline Filter ILF-175 - 10 GPM - 40 PSI - 80 Mesh

Inline Filter ILF-175 — 80 Mesh Screen Protection

The Dramm ILF-175 Inline Filter protects irrigation nozzles and hose equipment from dirt, debris, and sediment before it reaches sensitive nozzle orifices. An 80-mesh screen filters particles approximately 180 microns and larger at up to 10 GPM flow and 40 PSI. It installs directly in-line on any standard hose connection for immediate filtration protection.

This model is especially recommended for use ahead of the Dramm 1000PL Water Breaker and 350AL Screen Aire, whose fine internal passages are the most sensitive to sediment in the Dramm nozzle lineup.

Key Features & Benefits

• 80 Mesh / 175 Micron Screen: Filters particles approximately 180 microns and larger to protect nozzles and water breakers from clogging.
• 10 GPM / 40 PSI Rating: Handles typical irrigation hose flow rates for greenhouse and nursery use.
• In-Line Design: Installs between standard hose connections without special fittings or tools.
• Extends Equipment Life: Reduces clogging of nozzles, spray heads, and water breakers downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 80 mesh filter out?

80 mesh, approximately 180 microns, filters sand, grit, and suspended particles that can block nozzle orifices. That is fine enough to protect the narrow passages in Dramm's Water Breaker and Screen-Aire nozzles.

How do I clean the screen?

Unscrew the housing and rinse the screen element under running water to remove accumulated debris. Reinstall once the mesh is clear, with no special tools required.

Is this for indoor or outdoor use?

It is suitable for both indoor grow rooms and outdoor irrigation applications. The housing and screen material tolerate typical greenhouse humidity without issue.

What is the difference between this and the In-Line Hose Filter with Element?

This ILF-175 model carries a formal 10 GPM/40 PSI flow rating alongside its 80-mesh/175-micron screen. The In-Line Hose Filter with Element uses the same mesh size but is sold as Dramm's standard in-line filter body with the element included, without a separate published flow rating.
