FAQs

What type of filter is the Gardena 5318-20?

The Gardena 5318-20 is a suction filter designed to trap dirt and debris before it enters connected irrigation components.

How often should I clean the filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on water quality and usage. It is recommended to check and clean the filter periodically, especially if you notice a decrease in water pressure or flow.

Can this filter be used with any brand of irrigation system?

No, this filter is specifically designed for compatibility with Gardena Watertimers, Water Computers, and Pressure Tank Units.

What materials is the filter made of?

The filter features a black housing and a stainless steel filter element.

Will this filter remove very fine sediment?

It provides good protection against impurities and effectively filters common debris. For extremely fine sediment, performance may vary, and regular cleaning is essential.

Where is the best place to install this filter?

It should be installed between the water source (like a tank or pump) and your irrigation control devices (watertimer, computer) to protect them.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure or flow rate

The filter may be clogged. Disconnect and clean the filter element thoroughly. Ensure it is properly reconnected and there are no kinks in the connected hose.

Filter is not holding securely

Check the connection points on both the filter and the device it is attached to. Ensure threads are clean and connections are tightened appropriately, but do not overtighten.

Visible debris passing through the filter

The filter element may be damaged or the mesh is too fine for the type of debris. Inspect the filter for tears or holes. If the debris is larger than what the filter is designed for, consider a pre-filter or a filter with a coarser mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Gardena Dirt Trap Strainer is designed for simple installation. Connect it directly to your compatible Gardena watertimer, water computer, or pressure tank unit according to the device's manual. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.

Compatibility:
