Watering
Protection of irrigation systems
Watering and micro-irrigation systems require filters to protect solenoid valves, drippers and micro-sprinklers.
Installing a hydrocyclone or automatic filter (80 – 100 microns) prevents clogging and reduces maintenance compared with cartridge filters. Several Hectron products are suitable for this application.
Suitable equipment
PRAGO 2 AUTOMATIC FILTER
Suitable for low-flow boreholes (up to 8 m³/h), this filter eliminates sand. It is 100% automatic and requires no consumables. It’s the most economical solution among automatic filters.
Benefits
100% automatic
AG AUTOMATIC FILTERS
Available in 4 different sizes, these filters are suitable for all installations, including those with high flow rates. Versatile, they work equally well with surface water and borehole water, and with all types of suspended solids.
Benefits
100% automatic
HYDROCYCLONES INOX HN
A simple, robust solution for water containing coarse sand. Made from welded stainless steel, these models avoid the rust problems that occur with steel hydrocyclones.
