F63YD
ARKA
The ARKA F63YD 2 inch y-type disc filter delivers consistent filtration performance for irrigation and water treatment systems. Built with PP plastic housing and a y-shaped body, this filter fits into installations where space is limited while maintaining a flow rate of up to 25 m³/h. The y-type configuration directs water through the disc stack at an angle, reducing flow resistance and supporting stable pressure levels across the system.
The y-type body shape serves two primary functions in commercial irrigation setups. First, the angled inlet creates a smoother water path compared with T-type alternatives, which helps maintain upstream pressure in gravity-fed or low-pressure systems. Second, the compact footprint allows installation in narrow pump skids, control cabinets, and underground valve boxes where larger filter housings cannot fit. The housing is constructed from PP plastic, which resists corrosion from fertilizers, acids, and alkaline solutions commonly found in agricultural and industrial water circuits.
The filter body includes a built-in pressure pipeline connection point, enabling pressure gauge installation for real-time monitoring. This feature supports proactive maintenance scheduling for facility managers and irrigation technicians.
Inside the housing, a stack of grooved polypropylene discs captures suspended solids through depth filtration. Water passes through the micro-grooves on each disc surface, trapping particles larger than the selected filtration grade. Three filtration grades are available: 40 mesh, 80 mesh, and 120 mesh, allowing users to match filtration precision to water source conditions and downstream equipment requirements.
The disc element is removable for manual cleaning. When the pressure differential across the filter reaches a threshold indicating accumulated debris, users can disassemble the housing, remove the disc stack, and rinse with clean water. Reusable disc elements reduce long-term consumable costs compared with disposable cartridge filters.

The F63YD 2 inch y-type disc filter serves multiple water filtration needs across agricultural, landscape, and industrial settings.
In drip irrigation and micro-sprinkler setups, the filter protects emitters and nozzles from clogging caused by sediment, algae, and organic debris in surface water sources. The 120 mesh option provides sufficient protection for most drip tape systems, while the 40 mesh option works as primary pre-filtration for well water with low sediment load.
For municipal gardens, park landscapes, and commercial green spaces, the filter safeguards sprinkler heads and solenoid valves from particulate damage. Its compact size makes it suitable for installation in small valve vaults and residential pump stations where larger filter housings would require additional excavation or structural modifications.
In light industrial applications, the filter functions as pre-filtration for cooling water circuits, process water loops, and equipment protection systems. PP plastic construction offers chemical resistance compatible with many industrial water treatment chemicals, supporting longer service intervals in corrosive environments.
Install the filter with the y-body angled downward so that the disc element is accessible from the top or side, depending on orientation. The inlet and outlet ports use 2 inch BSP or NPT threaded connections, compatible with standard PVC, HDPE, or metal piping systems. For systems with frequent pressure spikes, install a pressure relief valve upstream to protect the filter housing from transient pressure events exceeding the 8 Bar rating.
Position the filter after the pump and before the irrigation control valves or distribution manifold. This placement ensures all downstream components receive filtered water. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter housing for disc stack removal during maintenance.
Monitor pressure differential across the filter using inlet and outlet pressure gauges. When the differential reaches approximately 0.5 to 0.8 Bar above the clean-filter baseline, the disc stack requires cleaning. To clean, close the upstream and downstream isolation valves, relieve pressure from the housing, unscrew the filter cap, and remove the disc stack. Rinse the discs with clean water while gently separating each disc to remove trapped debris. Reassemble the stack and housing, then slowly reopen the valves to repressurize the system.
Inspect the disc stack and housing O-rings during each cleaning cycle. Replace discs with visible cracks or deformed grooves, and replace O-rings showing signs of hardening or cracking to maintain a watertight seal.
A y-type disc filter removes suspended solids from water in irrigation and industrial water systems. The y-shaped housing holds a stack of grooved discs that trap particles as water passes through. This filter type is commonly used to protect drip emitters, sprinkler nozzles, valves, and downstream equipment from clogging and abrasion damage.
To clean a disc filter element, first close isolation valves and relieve housing pressure. Remove the filter cap, extract the disc stack, and rinse each disc under running water while gently separating the discs to dislodge trapped debris. For heavy biological fouling, soak the disc stack in a mild chlorine or acid solution before rinsing. Reassemble and reinstall once clean.
For most drip irrigation systems using drip tape or inline emitters, a 120 mesh filter provides adequate protection against typical sediment and organic particles. For water sources with high algae or organic load, consider a finer mesh combined with a primary screen filter upstream. Always match filtration grade to the smallest passage size in your downstream emitters.
Yes, the ARKA F63YD 2 inch y-type disc filter is rated for a maximum working pressure of 8 Bar. For systems operating near this limit, install pressure-regulating equipment upstream and avoid water hammer events that can create transient pressures exceeding the rating.
The maximum flow rate is 25 m³/h. Actual operating flow depends on system pressure, selected filtration grade, and water cleanliness. For systems requiring flow rates above 25 m³/h, consider a larger filter size or multiple filters installed in parallel.
PP plastic housing is compatible with most liquid fertilizers and agricultural chemicals used in fertigation systems. However, always verify chemical compatibility with concentrated acids or strong oxidizers before injection, as some chemicals at high concentrations may affect the housing material over time.
