Rainbird PRF100RBY 1" Pressure 40 psi Regulating Drip RBY Filter with 200 Mesh Screen

I had lots of problems with drip lines and buttons getting plugged with dirt from a 650ft well that we have. Constantly cutting off buttons and replacing them all season long after loosing lots of bushes and trees. I researched and read about these in line filter/pressure regulators and decided to try one. At the same time I took off all the drip buttons on that line and reinstalled flag drippers. Wow! now I have consistent line pressure on this line, I can pull the filter out to see how much dirt was coming thru and clean it out and along with the flag dripper buttons I can easily see if locations are dripping properly and clean them out if they are not. Wow, No lost bushes or trees and everyone is happy and healthy again. I will not install one on each of the other lines. Would highly recommend this product if you have long runs of drip lines and using well water.

We have secondary water for outdoor watering of lawns and gardens which is really nice, but it can be very dirty and clogs up every drip irrigation set up I've build over the year for my veggie garden. This filter is fine enough to stop even the fine silt that comes through, especially at the end of the year. I will purchase a couple more as I expand my set up for 2023.

I bought two Rainbird PRF100RBY regulators to reduce my irrigation line pressure from 60 psi down to 40 psi. Both were new and in the original packaging. When I installed them and turned on the water to one unit, one of the little white plastic plugs on the side blew out, and a stream of water sprayed out. The other unit worked as expected. Unfortunately I bought these when there was still snow on the ground; by the time it was warm enough to install them I had already exceeded the Amazon 30-day return window, so I'll have to contact RainBird to see if they will replace the defective unit.

For the money the purchase wasn’t a bad deal

Exactly as described on Amazon .. installed and works fine thus far .

It matched the old one and was easy to install

Compacts

Ok
