Water Filters for CS Soaker Hose Irrigation
CS Water Filters protect the soaker hose from dirt particles in the water and help maintain consistent water distribution throughout the entire irrigation system.
Why a Water Filter Is Important for Soaker Hoses
The CS Water Filter removes dirt particles before the water enters the CS Soaker Hose. This is important because the fine pores of the soaker hose can become clogged by unfiltered water. A suitable filter helps maintain consistent water distribution and can extend the service life of the irrigation system.
Benefits
Benefits of CS Water Filters
Water filters are an essential system component when soaker hoses are expected to operate reliably and provide consistent water distribution over the long term.
Protection Against Dirt Particles
The filter captures dirt particles before they enter the soaker hose and clog its fine pores.
More Consistent Water Distribution
A clean water supply helps maintain even irrigation along the entire hose length.
Extended System Service Life
Reducing dirt within the system helps protect the soaker hose, connectors, and accessories from unnecessary wear.
Matched to Water Quality
Different filtration grades are available to suit varying levels of water contamination.
Recommended for Rainwater Systems
Proper filtration is especially important when using water from rain barrels, storage tanks, or cisterns.
Compatible with Pressure Regulators
Depending on the system configuration, the water filter can be used together with a pressure regulator and other irrigation components.
Filter Types
Overview of our water filters
The right filtration solution depends on the water source, level of contamination, system size, and the required filtration grade.
| Filter type | Type of Filter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Standard water filter | 1/2 Zoll, 125 Micron | Compact filter for small to medium sized irrigation systems. Easy to clean using the integrated backwash function. Recommended for use with mains water. |
| Fine filter | 5 Zoll oder 10 Zoll, 60 Micron | Provides finer filtration for water containing visible dirt particles. The transparent housing allows easy monitoring of filter contamination. |
| Ultra-fine filter | 5 Zoll oder 10 Zoll, 20 Micron | Designed for heavily contaminated water containing very fine particles. The filter cartridge is more difficult to clean and should be replaced when heavily soiled. |
| Water filter with pressure reducer | 1/2 Zoll, 125 Micron | Compact filter with an integrated pressure regulator preset to 15 PSI (1.0 bar). If the pressure becomes too high, excess water is discharged through the relief port to protect the system. |
How It Works
How the CS water filter works
The water filter is installed between the water source and the CS Soaker Hose. It filters the water before it enters the hose, capturing particles that could otherwise clog the fine pores of the soaker hose and cause uneven water distribution.
- Install Before the Soaker Hose The filter should be installed as early as possible in the irrigation system.
- Choose the Appropriate Filtration Grade Select 125, 60, or 20 micron filtration based on the quality of your water.
- Inspect Regularly Visible contamination or reduced water flow indicates that the filter should be cleaned or serviced.
- Flush the System Before the Season Starts Before connecting the soaker hose, flush all irrigation lines thoroughly to remove dirt and debris.
Practical Tip
For rainwater, cistern water, or visibly contaminated water, a finer filtration grade is recommended. For heavily contaminated water, a combination of 60 micron and 20 micron filtration can provide improved protection.

Application
Choosing the Right Water Filter
The choice of water filter should be based on the water source, the level of contamination, and the type of irrigation system.
Mains Water
For most systems connected to the mains water supply, a compact 125 micron filter is sufficient, provided the water is relatively clean.
Rainwater
When using water from a rain barrel, storage tank, or cistern, finer filtration is generally recommended because organic matter and suspended particles may be present.
Visible Contamination
If the water contains visible dirt, a 60 micron filter is recommended. For very fine particles, a 20 micron filter can be added for additional protection.
Small Irrigation Systems
Compact filters with easy cleaning are often sufficient for smaller irrigation areas.
Larger Irrigation Systems
For larger systems, the filter size should match the water flow, water quality, and the number of irrigation lines.
Systems with a Pressure Regulator
A water filter with an integrated pressure regulator is a practical solution when both filtration and pressure reduction are required in a single compact unit.
Tips for optimal use
Regular inspection and selecting the appropriate filtration grade help keep the irrigation system operating reliably.
Clean the Filter Regularly
Check the level of contamination of the filter cartridge regularly and clean or replace it as needed.
Choose the Appropriate Filtration Grade
Select the filtration grade based on the water quality. The higher the level of contamination, the finer the filtration should be.
Flush the Water Lines Before Use
At the beginning of each irrigation season, flush the water lines thoroughly before connecting the soaker hose.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About CS Water Filters
Answers to common questions about filtration, cleaning, retrofitting, and water quality.
Why do I need a water filter for the CS soaker hose?w
A water filter protects the CS Soaker Hose from dirt particles in the water. This helps reduce the risk of clogging and supports more consistent water distribution.
How often should I clean the water filter?
This depends on the water quality. Inspect the filter regularly. If the water is heavily contaminated, more frequent cleaning or replacement of the filter cartridge may be necessary.
Can I install the water filter later?
Yes. A water filter can be retrofitted to many existing irrigation systems, provided the connections, flow rate, and system configuration are compatible.
Which filter is recommended for rainwater?
When using rainwater or cistern water, a finer filtration grade is generally recommended. In most cases, a 60 micron filter is a good choice. For very fine particles, an additional 20 micron filter may be required.
