Water Filters

CS Water filters for clean water and a longer service life of your soaker hose

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.

Available as 5 inch and 10 inch water filters with 20 micron, 25 micron, 50 micron and 60 micron. The 20 micron and 25 micron inserts are braided filter inserts for particularly fine particles. The 50 micron and 60 micron inserts are made from polyester mesh and offer a good balance between filtration performance and water flow.
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.

Which water filter is right for your water?

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.

Water filter for dirt particles and sediment

Dirt and sediment

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.

Why a water filter is useful for the CS soaker hose

Prevents clogging: dirt particles are retained before they can affect the fine pores of the soaker hose
Supports even water distribution: clean water helps provide calm and consistent irrigation for your plants
Extends service life: the CS soaker hose and other system components are effectively protected
Choose according to water quality: depending on the level of contamination, 125 micron, 60 micron, 50 micron, 25 micron and 20 micron are available
Consider iron and limescale: special filters are useful for iron containing or hard water
Also useful with tap water: especially in older galvanized water pipes, deposits can loosen and be retained by a filter

Variant overview

Which filter insert suits your application?

125 micron filter insert

Optional for standard domestic water networks and tap water. Particularly useful for older galvanized water pipes, where it helps filter out deposits and loosened particles from the water.

50 and 60 micron filter insert

Polyester mesh filter inserts for lightly to moderately contaminated water. The 60 micron variant is a good choice for rainwater, cistern water or visible dirt particles when a balanced combination of filtration performance and water flow is required. The 50 micron variant filters slightly finer and is useful when smaller particles should be retained more effectively while keeping the flow as stable as possible.

20 and 25 micron filter insert

Braided filter inserts for fine to very fine particles and more heavily contaminated water. The 25 micron variant sits between 20 micron and 50 micron and is suitable as a finer solution for contaminated water with sufficient operating pressure. The 20 micron variant filters even finer and is particularly useful for more heavily contaminated water with pump operation. Both variants are not suitable for pressureless irrigation, as the fine filter material can significantly restrict water flow.

Iron filter

For iron containing water that can cause rusty brown deposits or discoloration. Particularly useful for well water or water sources with increased iron content.

Limescale filter

For hard water or water with high limescale content. Helps reduce limescale deposits in the irrigation system and makes system maintenance easier.

125 micron filter with integrated 1 bar pressure regulator

This solution combines water filter and pressure regulator in one component. It filters the water with 125 micron and reduces the pressure to 1 bar.

Important note on 20 and 25 micron filter inserts

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.

Filter material and filtration fineness clearly explained

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.

Braided or polyester mesh?

20 and 25 micron: braided filter inserts for very fine dirt particles and more heavily contaminated water, preferably with pump operation
50 and 60 micron: polyester mesh filter inserts for good filtration performance with better water flow
125 micron: coarser filtration for tap water and also available as a combined solution with integrated 1 bar pressure regulator

5 inch filter

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.

10 inch filter

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 key difference

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.

Filter type	Filter material	Recommended application	Not suitable for	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

Practical recommendation: For rainwater or cistern water, a 60 micron filter is often useful because this polyester mesh insert offers a good balance between filtration performance and water flow. Once available, the 50 micron filter can also be used when slightly finer filtration is desired. For heavier contamination, 25 micron or 20 micron can be used after pre filtration. These braided inserts filter more finely, but require more water pressure and are therefore not suitable for pressureless systems. For normal tap water, a 125 micron filter is often sufficient, especially if older pipework is present. For iron containing or hard water, the corresponding special filters should be used once available.

With the right CS water filter, you protect your soaker hose from dirt, iron, limescale and deposits. Selection depends on the water source, contamination level, required flow rate and availability of the respective filter variant. This improves operational reliability, extends the service life of your irrigation system and creates the basis for even and reliable garden irrigation.
