Agriculture Sand Filter
Why Sand Filters Are Essential for Modern Agriculture In agriculture, every drop counts. Water drawn from canals, borewells, or farm ponds often carries sediments that clog drip emitters and misting nozzles.

Key Features of Greenly Agricultural Sand Filters
Effective Sediment Removal
Our layered sand bed – graded quartz sand over garnet – captures particles as small as 80 µm in a single pass, safeguarding downstream emitters.
Rugged, Farm Ready Construction
The housing is fabricated from IS 2062 grade carbon steel with a corrosion resistant epoxy coating, ensuring long service life even in Chennai’s humid coastal climate.
Quick Clean Backwash Mechanism
Choose manual or automatic backwash valves. A simple lever or timer controlled cycle flushes trapped debris in under two minutes, limiting downtime during peak irrigation periods.
Easy Installation & Scalability
Standard BSP/NPT threaded ports let you drop the filter straight into existing mains. Models range from 25 m³/h to 120 m³/h, with modular manifolds for larger estates.
Advantages for Farmers & Growers
Consistent Emitter Flow
prevents uneven wetting and improves fertigation accuracy.
Reduced Maintenance
fewer emitter flushes and pump overhauls.
Improved crop yields thanks to uniform moisture distribution.
Lower Energy Bills
clean lines require less pump pressure.
Applications
Row crop drip irrigation systems (vegetables, cotton, sugarcane)
Greenhouse & polyhouse misting/cooling lines
Poultry & dairy fogging systems
Pre filtration for reverse osmosis (RO) plants on farms
entralised farmhouse water treatment

Choosing the right filtration systems
- Identify the problem: turbidity, iron, smell, colour or chlorine.
- Match the filter size to flow rate (m³/hour) rather than tank size.
- Plan backwash water and a drain point near the filter.
- Use filtration ahead of RO or softeners to protect them.
- Agree a media replacement schedule at installation.

FAQs about Agriculture Sand Filter
Still unsure? Ask us directly or call +91 95000 55565.
How often should I backwash my sand filter?
Backwash whenever the pressure differential across the filter reaches 0.5–0.7 bar, or at least once a week during heavy irrigation schedules.
Can your filters handle canal or open pond water?
Yes. For very turbid sources we recommend a two stage setup—hydrocyclone pre separation followed by our sand filter for fine removal.
Do I need to replace the sand media?
Under normal farm conditions, the media lasts three to five years. We supply replacement graded sand in convenient 25 kg bags.
Which filter do I need for borewell water?
Most borewell water needs a sand or multi-grade filter for suspended solids, and an iron removal filter if iron is present. A water test tells us which stages are needed.
What does an activated carbon filter remove?
Carbon filters reduce chlorine, odour, colour and many organic compounds. They are often used after a sand filter and before RO or softening.
How often should filter media be replaced?
Sand media lasts longer than carbon. Replacement depends on water quality and backwash practice; we share a schedule when the filter is installed.
What is backwashing?
Backwashing reverses the flow through the filter to lift and flush out trapped dirt. Regular backwashing keeps pressure drop low and media working.
Can you build filters for agriculture and industry?
Yes. We build sand filters for drip irrigation, industrial process water and RO pre-treatment in sizes to suit the flow.
Do you supply replacement media and cartridges?
Yes. Sand, carbon and other media, cartridges and membranes are available as spares.
