Netafim 4in Angle Scan-Kleen Screen Filter - 150 mesh

Choosing the Angle Scan-Kleen Filter 150 Mesh Over 120 Mesh count and micron rating move in opposite directions, and that trips people up. Model 27ASCAN4-150 filters at 100 microns where the 120 mesh version stops at 130, so it holds back finer sand and silt. That matters most on drip tape and fine-orifice emitters, which plug on particles a sprinkler would pass without noticing. The trade is real. A finer screen loads faster on the same water, so you flush more often for the same run time. The body is the same either way: corrosion-proof polypropylene with a stainless steel element that keeps its geometry under repeated scanning. Running a 100 Micron Screen Filter on Well or Reservoir Water Netafim aims this filter at well water carrying small amounts of sand, center pivots, and reservoir water with light algae. Cleaning is manual and quick. Open the flush valve, turn the handle, and the rotating dirt collector lets nozzles scan the whole screen while water keeps flowing through. Flushing wants 20 psi minimum and runs best near 30 psi, and the cycle takes about ten seconds. The angle body stands 31 in tall by 20 in long and weighs 31 lbs. It carries 300 GPM through 194 sq in of screen and tops out at 120 psi. If your water runs heavy with algae rather than mineral grit, a disc filter is the better call than any screen. Pair it with the 120 mesh version upstream when the water is dirty enough to load a fine screen in a single set. Key Features 150 mesh at 100 microns: Sized for drip tape and small-orifice emitters that plug on 130 micron carryover. Scan-and-flush cleaning in about 10 seconds: Turning the handle rotates the dirt collector so nozzles sweep the screen without interrupting irrigation. 300 GPM through 194 sq in of screen: Flow capacity is unchanged from the coarser model, so the finer element costs flush frequency, not throughput. Corrosion-proof polypropylene body: Nothing to rust outdoors, with a stainless steel screen that keeps its geometry under repeated scanning. Compact angle configuration: At 31 in tall and 20 in long it fits a filter shed where the 54-inch twin body will not.
