Irrigation Products
Agriculture, Golf, Turf, and Landscape Filtration Systems
Since 1965, Yardney Water Filtration Systems has provided leading technologies and products for water filtration systems for the Agriculture and Irrigation markets. All low volume micro spray and drip, sprinkler and emitter irrigation systems have one common requirement for success—clean water. Without it, these systems fail. Yardney was the first company globally to dedicate itself to water quality improvement systems for agricultural and irrigation applications.
While our products have continued to evolve and improve, the same basic principles of design are in practice today. With filter technology that has been tested in hundreds of applications, thousands of times over, we know what works.
Our wide range of filtration products are designed with the grower in mind. No matter the acreage or water source, Yardney provides advanced expertise to engineer a product specifically for your application.
Carbon Steel Sand Media Filters –
Automatic or Semi-Automatic
Stainless Steel Sand Media Filters –
Automatic or Semi-Automatic
Yardney Sand Media Filters are designed as a solution for the most challenging dirty water conditions in irrigation systems. Yardney pioneered the use of sand media filtration in 1965, and through advancing technology, continues to provide high performance and long term value in the field. Yardney Sand Media Filters are manufactured in the USA to the most exacting standards.
Yardney Sand Media Filters are offered in both stainless steel and carbon steel in multiple configurations, including standard design and pressures, or one of the many alternative designs with high-pressure tanks, interior epoxy coating, removable underdrains, and more.
Yardney Mini-Media Filters
Maxi-Clean Screen Filters (MCS) – Manual Clean
Yardney Mini-Media Filters are designed as a sand media solution for lower flow applications. These rugged, simple filters are built with the same high performance, high efficiency standards as our other product lines. Constructed of high strength carbon steel, the Mini-Media is fusion epoxy lined on wetted surfaces. Underdrains are made of Type 304 stainless steel for extra-long life.
Yardney Maxi-Clean Screen Filters are designed for high performance contamination removal in applications where durability and economy are essential. Constructed of heavy-gauge carbon or stainless steel, Maxi-Clean filters are lined with 3M Scotchkote® 134 fusion bonded epoxy for excellent protection from the environment and long product life. The Maxi‑Clean Screen Filter is easy to operate and comes standard with grooved couplings, manifolds and all accessories for ease of installation.
Basket Strainers (SB) – Manual Clean
Spin Flow (SF) Screen Filters – Manual Clean
Yardney Basket Strainers are a low cost filter solution designed to be used for the removal of inorganic contaminants. Basket strainers trap gross contaminants and are able to withstand a substantial amount of loading without failure. When used as a secondary filter, the basket strainer is intended to capture contaminants that may enter the system as a result of a pipeline break or system malfunction.
Yardney Spin Flow Screen Filters offer the benefits of a vortex action spin flow with the advantages of a woven mesh screen filter. Water enters the screen housing tangentially, vortexing the flow—a technique that separates heavy particulate away from the fine mesh cartridge. This method of separation simplifies and reduces cartridge cleaning. Heavy sediment is flushed from the filter through a conveniently located flush port, while the finer contaminant is trapped on the fine screen cartridge.
Yardney-Filtaworx (FW) Automatic Self-Cleaning Screen Filters
Thru-Flush Screen Filters – Automatic or Semi-Automatic Clean
Yardney-Filtaworx Automatic Self-Cleaning Screen Filters provide excellent protection for all types of irrigation systems including drip, micro-spray, sprinklers and golf course systems. Filtaworx screen filters are one of the most technically innovative self-cleaning filters available, combining proven high performance, reliability and economy in a compact robust design.
Yardney Thru-Flush Screen Filters provide excellent filtration for water sources where inorganic particulate is the major contaminant. The Thru-Flush cleaning action quickly purges the trapped contaminant from the filter using your source water line and pressure. This technology utilizes turbulent water action to shake loose the contaminant from the screen and discharge the contaminant out of the housing.
Maxi-Flush (MFS) Automatic Backwash Screen Filters
Pump Suction Screens
Yardney Maxi-Flush Automatic Backwash Screen Filters provide the ultimate in high rate screen filter performance. Built for durable trouble-free service, the filter and cartridge have no internal moving parts to wear out, break down or replace. The field changeable stainless steel filter cartridge requires no maintenance and is constructed with burst strength in excess of 400 psi.
Yardney Pump Suction Screens are designed to filter larger, heavier contaminants on the pump intake piping to allow other equipment further down the infrastructure to run smoothly without clogging or blinding, such as pumps or primary filtration units. Our self-cleaning screens are designed to continuously remove trash and debris from water sources, saving you time, fuel and maintenance costs. Pump Suction Screens can be used for agricultural, turf, industrial, centrifugal or turbine pump applications.
Accompanied with a galvanized check valve, the pump and water system will not loose prime.
Centrifugal Sand Separators – Manual or Automatic Clean
Backwash Valves
Yardney Centrifugal Sand Separators are ideal for removal of suspended solids and inorganic materials with a specific gravity of 2 or greater. This highly effective system will provide consistent, simple removal of inorganic material down to 75 microns. Easily installed, these carbon steel units are rated to 150 psi with threaded or flanged inlet and outlet connections. Smaller models are designed for vertical installation while larger models are angled and floor or ground mounted.
Sizing must be within the specified flow range for proper centrifugal action. Larger flow separators and custom designed systems are available.
Yardney Backwash Valves are manufactured in-house. All three Yardney backwash valve models (1-1/2″, 3″ & 4″) are manufactured from cast iron and CNC machined for proper and effective sealing of all wetted surfaces in order to achieve the lowest documented pressure drop in the industry. The Yardney Backwash Valve is designed as standard equipment to be 100% field serviceable with basic hand tools, and includes a grease fitting for valve shaft lubrication and replaceable brass bushing and all sealing and gasketed surfaces.
Fertilizer Tank (HF)
Galvanized Check Valves
Yardney Fertilizer Tanks are chemical application products that provide a simplified method to dispense fertilizer or other chemicals through a low-volume drip or sprinkler irrigation system. Since these products operate by using the irrigation line pressure and flow, they do not require a pump, motor or other mechanical injecting device.
Yardney Galvanized Check Valves are highly recommended for use on pump inlets for retaining system pressure. These may be used with or without a Yardney pump suction screen, and also include a 3/4″ fitting to drain the system for maintenance or winterizing.
Ultra Backwash Controller
Yardney Ultra Backwash Automatic Controllers are simple and easy to use. The filter control system design features user selection flexibility of power source input (12V DC, 120V AC, 220V AC), output power type, and number of stations, up to a maximum of 16 stations per controller. The controller incorporates elapsed time monitoring as well as pressure differential activation with filter system backwashing activity reported through the backwash cycle counter program.
