The Inline Hose Filter is a simple, highly effective component designed to protect your smaller home drip irrigation systems from clogging. Engineered with a standard 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) inlet and Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet, this compact filter attaches effortlessly directly to your outdoor faucet, garden hose, or hose thread irrigation timer. By trapping tiny particles of dirt, sand, and sediment, it serves as the crucial first line of defense for municipal or clean well water sources, ensuring your micro-emitters and soaker hoses run flawlessly.
Designed for streamlined setups, this inline filter supports flow rates up to 7 Gallons Per Minute (GPM), making it perfectly sized for patio containers, raised beds, and modest garden layouts. It features a reliable 120-mesh nylon screen that effectively catches debris before it reaches your drip lines. For routine cleaning or replacement, the filter simply disconnects from the water supply, allowing you to access and rinse the screen in seconds. To build a complete and reliable head assembly, simply pair this filter with a compatible hose thread pressure regulator. Please note: This filter is not rated for constant pressure and must be installed downstream of your automated valves or timers.

Build your drip irrigation head assembly in minutes.
Step 1: Install Your Timer
Attach your hose-end water timer or automated valve directly to your outdoor water spigot.
Step 2: Attach the Inline Filter
Thread the Female Hose Thread (FHT) inlet of the Inline Filter directly onto the outlet of your timer. Hand-tighten firmly to ensure the internal washer creates a leak-proof seal.
Step 3: Add a Pressure Regulator
Thread your hose-thread pressure regulator onto the Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet of the filter, followed by your tubing adapter.
Step 4: Routine Cleaning
Periodically (once a month) turn off your water, unscrew the filter from your head assembly, gently pull the nylon screen out of the filter body, and rinse it under clean water to remove trapped sediment.
Can I leave this filter under constant pressure?
No, this filter is not rated for constant pressure. It must be installed after your automated timer or irrigation valve so it only holds pressure when the system is actively watering.
Installing it before the timer leaves it pressurized 24/7, which can eventually cause the housing to stretch, crack, or leak.
How do I clean the screen inside the filter?
Because this is an inline filter, it does not have a side flush cap. To clean it, you must turn off the water supply, completely unthread the filter from your setup, and gently slide the nylon screen out of the housing to rinse it.
If you prefer a filter that you can flush without disconnecting it from the system, consider upgrading to a Y-Type filter.
What type of water is this filter best for?
This filter is ideal for fairly clean water sources, such as municipal city water or clean residential wells.
Because of its smaller screen surface area and nylon material, if you are pumping water with heavy algae, organic matter, or severe sediment from a pond or ditch, it will clog very quickly.
How should I prepare my Inline Filter for spring watering?
As you set up your system for spring, disconnect the filter and inspect the 120-mesh nylon screen for any tears, damage, or hard scale buildup from the previous year.
Clean it thoroughly, or replace the screen if necessary. Ensure the internal washer is properly seated before hand-tightening it back onto your timer.
