Netafim Arkal Manual 80mm Leader Twin Disc Filter

High-Capacity, Low-Maintenance Filtration for Irrigation and Water Treatment Systems

The Netafim Arkal 80mm Leader Twin Manual Disc Filter is a durable, high-volume filtration solution engineered to provide long-term protection against clogging in irrigation, municipal, and commercial water systems. Using advanced disc filtration technology, this system captures debris throughout the full depth of the disc stack—unlike traditional screen filters that only capture surface particles.

Designed for versatility and efficiency, the Leader Twin configuration features a detachable spine, large filtration capacity, and flanged 80mm (3") inlets/outlets, supporting horizontal or vertical installation in a variety of system layouts.

FEATURES

• Disc Filtration Technology: Grooved disc rings form a deep, three-dimensional filtration structure to trap particles both between and on the surface of the discs.
• Detachable Spine Design: Simplifies internal maintenance and component replacement.
• High Flow Capacity: Efficiently handles flow rates up to 120 m³/h, reducing system downtime and extending cleaning intervals.
• Flexible Installation Options: Can be installed horizontally or vertically to accommodate site conditions and available space.
• Easy Maintenance: Simple to open and close cover; equipped with inlet/outlet pressure testing ports and drain valve.

BENEFITS

• Extra-Large Filtration Area: Reduces cleaning frequency—ideal for systems with heavy sediment loads.
• Thermoplastic, Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Built from durable, UV-resistant materials for long-term use in challenging environments.
• Color-Coded Replacement Discs: Makes mesh rating identification and maintenance easy.
