FAQ – Filter sock for deep well pumps (50 µm)

Common Questions About Sand Protection for Deep Well Pumps Filter socks for deep well pumps protect pumps and irrigation systems from sand and dirt particles in well water. The right filter solution extends the system's service life and ensures reliable water delivery. The following questions help with choosing and using the filter sock.

What is a filter sock used for on deep well pumps?

A filter sock is pulled directly over the deep well pump and serves as sand protection for well pumps. It prevents sand, sediment or dirt particles reaching the pump and causing wear or damage there. Particularly for new wells or sandy ground, a filter sock helps pumps and irrigation systems run reliably and last longer.

Is a 50 µm filter sock suitable for my well?

A filter sock with a 50 µm micron rating is particularly well suited to wells with fine sand or suspended solids in the water. This rating offers a good balance between reliable sand protection and sufficient water flow. In most garden wells and irrigation systems, a 50 µm filter sock is a sensible standard solution for protecting pumps from wear over the long term.

Does the filter sock affect the pump's flow rate?

With the correct size chosen, the deep well pump's flow rate is generally unaffected. The permeable filter material lets water flow evenly through the filter sock. It's important that the filter sock is sized generously and doesn't fit too tightly, so water supply isn't restricted.

How is the filter sock fitted to the deep well pump?

The filter sock is simply pulled over the deep well pump and secured above the intake openings with a cable tie. No complex installation or additional parts are needed. Once fitted, the pump is ready to use immediately and protected from sand particles.

Can the filter sock be cleaned and reused?

The filter sock can be reused several times, depending on how dirty it gets. Once removed, the filter material can be rinsed with clean water to remove sand and build-up. If it's heavily worn or damaged, the filter sock should be replaced to keep the deep well pump permanently protected from sand.
