Netafim Disc Filter 1.5 in MPT x MPT 120 Mesh Super

What Makes It a 1.5 in Super Disc Filter Super means longer, and length means disc area. The standard 1.5 in body measures 10 5/8 in. This one runs 14 1/2 in. Those extra four inches hold more rings, and more rings carry more flow before pressure loss becomes the limiting factor. Threads are unchanged at 1.5 in MPT, so it drops into the same fitting. Nothing else about the plumbing changes. Choosing a 52 GPM Disc Filter Over the Standard Body The number that changes is the top of the range. Standard 1.5 in covers 10 to 35 GPM and this one reaches 52. That puts a 52 gpm disc filter in a useful gap. It sits between the standard 1.5 in body and a 2 in, where flow does not start until 40 GPM. The minimum stays at 10 GPM, because the discs still need flow to compress and seat. There is a second reason to choose the longer body even inside the standard flow range. More disc area means more dirt held before pressure drops, so the cleaning interval stretches. On dirty source water that can matter more than the headline flow figure. Disc area is the whole argument for the long body. You are getting interval as much as capacity. This one carries the red 120 mesh stack at roughly 130 micron. Black 140 is the finer option at about 115. Body and cover are reinforced polyamide. Cleaning stays manual: open it, lift the stack, rinse the rings and reassemble. Key Features 14.5 in body against 10.6 in standard: The extra length holds more rings, which is where the added flow capacity comes from. 10 to 52 GPM: Against 10 to 35 for the standard 1.5 in. The minimum is unchanged. Same 1.5 in MPT threads: It drops into the same fitting as the standard body with no adapter. 120 mesh, roughly 130 micron: The red stack. Black 140 mesh is the finer option at about 115 micron. Longer cleaning interval: More disc area holds more debris before pressure loss forces a strip down. Reinforced polyamide body: Manual cleaning throughout: open, lift the stack, rinse, reassemble.
