Water Filters
With the right CS water filter, you protect your
CS soaker hose from dirt particles, deposits, iron,
limescale and other impurities in the water. This keeps water
distribution even, helps the irrigation system operate more reliably
and reduces long term strain on your soaker hose.
Choose the filter according to your water source and the specific issue
in the water. This helps you find the right solution for your irrigation
system more quickly. Available and soon to be available variants are
marked accordingly.
For rainwater, cistern water, tap water with deposits or visible
particles. Depending on the level of contamination, 125, 60, 50,
25 or 20 micron may be suitable. The 25 micron and 50 micron
filter inserts are expected to be available around mid July.
If your water forms rusty brown deposits or contains iron, an iron
filter is useful for reducing deposits in the system.
For hard, limescale rich water, a limescale filter can help reduce
limescale deposits in the irrigation system and make maintenance
easier.
If you want to filter the water and reduce mains pressure at the
same time, the 125 micron filter with integrated 1 bar pressure
regulator is a practical combined solution.
The 20 micron and
25 micron filter inserts are braided filter inserts
for particularly fine filtration. They are
not suitable for pressureless irrigation, as the
water flow can be restricted too much by the very fine filter
material.
Use 20 or 25 micron primarily when more heavily contaminated water is
supplied with a pump. For coarse contamination, pre
filtration with 50 micron or
60 micron is recommended so that the fine braided
filter insert does not clog too quickly.
The micron rating describes how fine the filter insert works. The
smaller the micron value, the finer the particles that can be
retained. At the same time, finer filtration increases resistance in
the water flow. For this reason, the filter should not simply be
selected according to the lowest micron value, but according to water
source, contamination level, flow rate and operating method.
The 5 inch filter is more compact and is well suited for smaller
irrigation projects, standard applications and limited installation
space. It provides good filtration performance for moderate water
demand.
Thanks to its larger filter surface and the longer residence time of
the water inside the filter, the 10 inch filter provides better
filtration performance. It is particularly useful for higher water
throughput or more demanding irrigation systems.
The main difference between 5 inch and 10 inch is
throughput and filtration performance. In the
10 inch filter, the water remains in the filter area for longer and
can therefore be cleaned more effectively.
CS Water filters for clean water and a longer service life of your
soaker hose
Also available is a
125 micron water filter with integrated 1 bar pressure regulator.
New additions to the range also include 10 inch
iron filters and limescale filters
for specific water qualities.

Note
125 micron
Coarse filtration, depending on the version as a standard filter
or combined filter
Standard domestic water network, tap water, older galvanized
water pipes, coarse particles
heavily contaminated rainwater without additional filtration
Optional for tap water, but very useful where deposits may occur
in older pipes. Also available as a variant with 1 bar pressure
regulator.
50 micron
60 micron
Polyester mesh
Lightly to moderately contaminated water, rainwater, cistern water
and visible dirt particles. 50 micron is useful when slightly
finer filtration than 60 micron is desired.
Very heavily contaminated water without prior separation of coarse
particles
Good balance between filtration performance and water flow.
60 micron provides slightly more flow, while 50 micron provides
slightly finer filtration.
20 micron
25 micron
Braided filter insert
More heavily contaminated water with pump operation, fine to very
fine dirt particles, rainwater and cistern water with sufficient
operating pressure.
Pressureless irrigation
Fine filtration with increased flow resistance. For coarse
contamination, pre filter with 50 or 60 micron first.
Iron filter
Special filter for iron contamination
Iron containing water, well water, water with rusty brown deposits
Water without iron related issues
Useful when rusty brown deposits or discoloration appear
Limescale filter
Special filter for limescale contamination
Hard water or water with high limescale content
Very heavily contaminated water without pre filtration
Helps reduce limescale deposits and makes system maintenance
easier
125 micron with 1 bar pressure regulator
Combined solution consisting of filter and pressure regulator
Tap water where pressure reduction is required
Pressureless irrigation without mains pressure
Combines filtration and pressure reduction in one component
