| Abstract/Contents: | "In today's rapidly changing landscape irrigation environment, water is becoming more scarce, and usage regulations becoming stricter. Providers of domestic, potable water from public municipalities to private water purveyors are imposing restrictions to limit the amount of potable water that is used to irrigate the turf and landscaped plantings of commercial properties, golf courses and athletic fields, right-of-ways, and private residences. In many cases, particularly in arid climates where rainfall is scarce, water providers simply do not allow irrigation with potable water. As a reaction to this trend, many landscape irrigation systems are turning to alternative sources of water such as private wells, on-site lakes and streams, and captured storm water runoff from roofs, parking lots, and other hardscapes. Additionally, some municipalities are providing pressurized distribution systems of treated wastewater for irrigation use. The water quality of these untreated alternative sources differs greatly from potable water. Typically, alternative sources contain contaminants such as sand, grit, silt, and algae that can cause damage and wear to the components of a landscape irrigation system. As a result, one of the most important components of these irrigation systems is the filtration used to protect the pump, piping, valves, sprinklers, and drip components from damage and clogging due to the contaminants found in these alternative water sources. Choosing the right type of filter can be a daunting task, particularly for those whose previous experience had them working exclusively with potable water, and as a result have no prior filtration experience. The following discussion will identify the common types of filtration that are used in landscape irrigation: screen filters, sand media filters, and centrifugal separators. The advantages and disadvantages of each type of filtration will be examined; as well as the criteria to use when selecting the right filter." |
