Rain BirdPRF07530S Drip Irrigation In-Line 30 PSI Pressure Regulating "Y" Filter, 3/4" Male Pipe Thread,Black

I noticed right away that this product is going to work well in my somewhat complicated drip irrigation system. I running this filter in the actual garden hose (I cut the hose and bought some barb fittings to make it an inline filter prior to my drip system). After the filter the water goes through a pipe where I branch off to a spigot for a hose on my deck and then up to another spigot that runs a Y with two water timers that go off on opposite schedules as to keep good pressure. The system works like a charm, however, I have to watch the fall for freezing temps and I blow out the lines with an air compressor and remove the plastic water timers to prevent bursting. Here's a cool trick, use half inch drip line that then tee off to soaker hoses with a valve at the end of each one for easy clean out each year. This save money on all those expensive drip irrigation drippers that can clog but it takes a bit of work to find proper fittings, hose clamps, and I use a touch of 100 percent silicon in each fitting to insure no leaks....anyway, it works for me and was a lot cheaper than a full drip system. You can replace the soaker hoses every 3 to 6 years if you like yet I've run mine for 4 years with only a leak now and again that I use a fitting on to fix.

I used this step-down in-line valve to reduce the PSI (down to 30 PSI) on a new zone I created off my 3/4” irrigation system which I specifically designed (with 1/2” black tubing, 1/4” spaghetti lines and drip emitters) to water flowering pots in our courtyard that get full sun. This summer has been brutally hot; so I also created a Program B off my Rain Bird controller that waters the pots, not once, but twice each day for short periods. I’ll have to adjust that as we get into the fall, but I’m very pleased with the result.I should add I’ve used these valves on two other zones… the spray type sprinkler heads were keeping the bottom halves of our shutters wet and they were rotting well before their time. I stepped-down the zones replaced the sprinkler heads and installed drip tubing (brown tubing with small holes every 12”) and am very pleased with that as well.

Exactly what was needed. As I had to replace my inline filter it was leaking after 15 years.This worked perfect. THANKS AMAZON!

We require frequent cleaning because of an open water source for irrigation. The filter helps immensely.

I installed this regulator in March. So far the irrigation system is consistently using the same amount of water on each cycle. I haven't tried the cleanout feature yet but I will this fall.

the new filter assembly was used to replace old like filter that had cracked.

Very strong, easy to install, and very convenient to clean out

The filter itself works as described. I prefer this over the bigger Digg brand filters locally available at Orange and Blue simply due to size; much easier to fit into a valve box for underground drip systems. My inner filter cartridge doesn't have an o-ring like other mini brands, but that doesn't seem to directly affect performance.Just keep in mind this is not the PRF model version which has a built in Pressure Regulator. I wasn't careful when ordering and mistook this one for the PRF model. They look virtually identical.Overall great product. Just make sure its what you need.

Good value just need to make sure you get the right fitting to attach in line bought an orbit timer to go with this and it is Malin to mail and make sure you get a coupler if you need it
