Filtration Method - Because the emitters have small to very small orifices, a good filtration system is critical. Usually the filtration degree should be 1/5 of the emitter outlet size.

Based on the quality of the water and the emitter type, the filtration system can be a sand separator, media/sand filter, screen filter or a disc filter (see pictures).

Back-up filters (field filters) are also  needed to protect the emitters from clogging up; they are usually disc filters (see pictures).
