In agricultural irrigation, filters are essential devices, and the reasonable configuration of the filtration system plays a crucial role. If the filtration equipment is not properly matched or selected improperly, it will cause the entire water-saving irrigation system to be paralyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo reasonable scientific design and select the appropriate filter according to the actual nature of contaminants, content level, particle size of solid particles, flow path size of the irrigator, amount of water required for irrigation, nature of the irrigation system, outflow method, and other conditions. Irrigation sand filter is a filtration device frequently used in agricultural irrigation. Irrigation sand filter can filter out larger particles and sand, preventing them from clogging irrigation facilities and ensuring the normal operation of the irrigation system.
The primary function of an irrigation system filter is to filter impurities and particles from the irrigation water to ensure water quality cleanliness, thereby preventing clogging of irrigators and improving irrigation efficiency.
The filter can remove impurities and particles from the irrigation water, ensuring water quality cleanliness, preventing impurities from clogging drippers and other irrigators in the irrigation system, and ultimately affecting irrigation results.
The filter can protect components such as water pumps, pipes, and nozzles in the irrigation system, avoiding wear and clogging caused by impurities and particles, thereby extending their service life.
The filter can improve the utilization rate of irrigation water and reduce water wastage. Filtered irrigation water can be evenly distributed to crops, enhancing crop yield and quality.
The filter can reduce farmers' maintenance costs, minimizing expenses for replacing parts due to clogging and damage.
Irrigation sand filter belongs to one of the media filters. Its sand bed is a three-dimensional filter with a strong ability to capture contaminants. It is an ideal device for removing contaminants from irrigation water in irrigation systems. Among all filters, the irrigation sand filter is the most effective for treating organic impurities in water. This filter has a strong ability to filter and retain impurities and can supply water continuously. When the organic matter content in water exceeds 10mg/L, the irrigation sand filter should be used regardless of the organic matter content. Secondary filtration can be done using a mesh or disc filter. It is mainly used for filtering irrigation water from reservoirs, ponds, channels, rivers, lakes, and other open water sources, separating algae, floating debris, organic impurities, and silt in the water.
Remove impurities
Irrigation sand filter can effectively remove particles, silt, and impurities from irrigation water, ensuring the purity of irrigation water, preventing clogging of the irrigation system, and protecting sprinkling devices.
Extend equipment life
By reducing particulate matter in the irrigation system, irrigation sand filter can lower wear and maintenance needs, thus extending the lifespan of the equipment.
Increase efficiency
Clean irrigation water can improve the efficiency of the irrigation system, ensuring that plants receive sufficient water and nutrients, thereby increasing crop yield.
Water conservation
Since irrigation sand filter helps eliminate blockages and waste in the irrigation system, they contribute to reducing water waste and enhancing the effects of agricultural water-saving irrigation.
