Irritech Waterscreen is the ideal solution for any operation that depends on a water supply containing suspended debris. The water intake port is surrounded by a rotating drum-shaped screen. A lightweight aluminium frame and pontoon provides flotation for the unit. The stainless steel rotating screen is self-cleaning, with a row of spray nozzles mounted inside the drum spraying water outwards through the 304 stainless steel #8 mesh screen. The cleaning nozzles are setup to spray downstream to ensure debris floats away from the Waterscreen, this highly effective system ensures that the screen remains clean around the water intake port.

Waterscreen can be operated in a range of water sources including rivers, streams, dams and canals and is ideal for use on irrigation systems; including drip irrigation and pivots, as well as town water supply and grey water pumping.

The rotating screen is designed to turn easily and in many cases can rotate with only the assistance of the current of the river or stream, however all Waterscreen’s are supplied with a power drive system. The power drive consists of a row of spray nozzles mounted on the frame with the spray directed at horizontal channel fixed to the drum screen providing rotation. Both the power and the cleaning nozzles are adjustable and can be set up to operate on either side of the screen.

Waterscreen has been designed specifically to operate in shallow bodies of water. The unique design allows the unit to be used in as little as 100mm of moving water. The shallow operation capability means that as long as the drum can rotate, the screen will provide filtered water to the intake without cavitation and without drawing in sand and silt.

Waterscreen’s large intake funnel substantially reduces the velocity of water entering the drum eliminating the possibility of sand and silt being drawn in to the intake port. Ultimately this means less pump-wear, less blockages of sprinklers and less system downtime.

Being a pivotal part of the pump system, Waterscreen has been designed for maintenance free operation. The stainless steel and aluminium components will not rust or corrode and the drum rotates on nylon rollers with marine quality stainless steel bearings.

Waterscreen is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate suction lines from 100mm through to 300mm. With pumping capacities ranging from 6 litres per second for the 100mm unit all the way up to 250 litres per second for the 300mm unit there is a Waterscreen to suit almost every application.

Waterscreen is fitted with check valves allowing operators to prime non-vacuum type pumps.

A pressure relief valve is also fitted as standard.

Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: Enhancing Efficiency in Agricultural Irrigation Systems

In large-scale agricultural operations, maintaining a consistent and debris-free water supply is crucial for the effective functioning of lateral irrigation systems. The Irritech Waterscreen is perfectly suited for these environments, ensuring that water drawn from rivers or canals is free from debris that could clog the system. By integrating the Waterscreen with a lateral pivot or pivot irrigator, farmers can significantly reduce downtime caused by blockages, leading to increased crop yield and reduced maintenance costs. The self-cleaning feature of the Waterscreen ensures that the rotating sprinkler systems operate smoothly, providing uniform water distribution across vast fields.
Scenario 2: Reliable Water Supply for Municipal Water Systems

Municipalities often face challenges in maintaining a clean water supply from natural sources like rivers and streams. The Irritech Waterscreen can be a game-changer for town water supplies, especially in areas where water sources contain high levels of suspended debris. By installing the Waterscreen at the intake point, municipalities can ensure a consistent and clean water supply, reducing the risk of blockages in the distribution network. This is particularly beneficial for systems utilizing lateral move irrigation systems to distribute water across urban landscapes, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted service to residents.
Scenario 3: Sustainable Water Management in Industrial Applications

Industries that rely on water for cooling or processing can benefit from the Irritech Waterscreen to maintain a debris-free water intake. For facilities using lateral irrigation systems to manage water flow across large areas, the Waterscreen ensures that the water remains free of contaminants that could damage equipment or disrupt operations. The self-cleaning mechanism reduces the need for manual maintenance, allowing industries to focus on core operations while ensuring sustainable water management practices.
Scenario 4: Optimizing Water Use in Golf Course Maintenance

Golf courses require precise irrigation to maintain the quality of the greens and fairways. The Irritech Waterscreen can be integrated with lateral pivot systems to provide a reliable and clean water supply, free from debris that could affect the performance of rotating sprinklers. By ensuring that the water used for irrigation is filtered and debris-free, golf course managers can maintain the aesthetic and functional quality of the course, enhancing the experience for players and reducing maintenance efforts.
Scenario 5: Efficient Water Filtration for Aquaculture Operations

Aquaculture farms often face challenges with water quality due to suspended debris in natural water sources. The Irritech Waterscreen offers an effective solution by providing a clean water intake for fish ponds and tanks. By integrating the Waterscreen with lateral move irrigation systems, aquaculture operations can ensure a consistent and clean water supply, promoting healthier aquatic life and reducing the risk of disease. The low maintenance and self-cleaning features of the Waterscreen make it an ideal choice for aquaculture farms looking to optimize their water management practices.
