💧 Pressure Reducers Explained

🔹 Why Use a Flow Reducer with a Tap Timer and Short Poly Pipe (under 30m)?

• Tap water typically has a high flow rate, which can overwhelm micro sprayers or drippers.
• This creates a flow imbalance:
  • The volume of water entering the timer is greater than what the system can release efficiently.
• This imbalance can cause problems with the solenoid valve inside the timer:
  • The diaphragm may fail to open or more commonly, fail to close properly.
• These issues often appear after repeated use of the timer.

✅ How to Prevent These Issues

• Install a flow reducer on the tap, before the timer.
• This limits the water volume entering the system, helping the timer and watering components function correctly.

🧼 Flow Reducer with Filter Assembly

• Use this setup only when the water source is non-potable (e.g., from a tank or dam).
• The filter:
  • Removes particles and organic debris.
  • Prevents clogging at micro sprayer or dripper outlets.
• Not suitable for domestic tap water systems:
  • For home use with spray or drip systems, use only the flow reducer, without the filter.
