Frequently Asked Questions about Filter mesh

How do I pick the right mesh screen filter for irrigation and water treatment?
Start with the filtration rating and flow capacity to match your system. The filters shown use 120-micron mesh, and models vary in connection size and throughput—from 1 inch to 2 inches with flows ranging roughly from 5 to 20 cubic meters per hour. For smaller gardens, the 1-inch variants deliver solid filtration around 5–8 m3/h; for larger setups, the 2-inch unit handles higher flows up to 20 m3/h, keeping irrigation debris out of pumps and emitters.
What does a 120-micron mesh rating actually mean for filtration quality?
A 120-micron rating indicates the screen captures relatively fine impurities from water. The product descriptions explain that this mesh intercepts suspended and particulate matter, reduces turbidity, and helps protect downstream equipment from fouling, rust, and algae—improving overall water quality and system reliability.
When should I choose 1-inch versus 2-inch mesh filters?
Choose 1-inch connections for smaller irrigation setups and moderate debris loads where up to about 8 m3/h is sufficient. Opt for 2-inch filters when you have larger systems or higher debris levels, as they are specified to support up to around 20 m3/h, delivering higher flow while maintaining filtration efficiency.
How should I maintain these mesh filters for longevity?
Keep the mesh clean and inspect seals regularly to prevent leaks. The suppliers note a 1-month warranty on several models, so regular inspection of fittings and the mesh screen helps reduce fouling. Since the mesh is a plastic frame with stainless steel, avoid harsh chemicals that could corrode the metal parts and shorten the life of the assembly.
Where are these filters commonly used?
They are suitable for water treatment and irrigation filtration across vegetables, fruit trees, greenhouses, flowers, and general garden applications. The descriptions explicitly mention compatibility with drip irrigation, micro-spray systems, indoor green setups, and landscape maintenance—making them versatile for many Kenyan horticulture and farming tasks.
How do I install these filters in an irrigation system?
Place the screen filter in the irrigation line ahead of downstream equipment and ensure proper alignment with the chosen connection size. After installation, test the flow rate and check for leaks at fittings. The included fittings and the plastic-stainless construction help with straightforward assembly and reliable operation in everyday garden irrigation and water-treatment setups.
