The Hunter ICV Filter Sentry™ Valve is a heavy-duty, high pressure workhorse, with the added benefit of contamination protection.
Dirt. It’s a valve’s biggest enemy. But aren’t filters supposed to keep a valve dirt free? Well, most can keep out the big stuff, but what about the microscopic particles–like minerals and algae–that can build up on the diaphragm filter? After all, that kind of contamination, over time, can lead to the product’s premature failure.
That’s why Hunter developed Filter Sentry™, a scouring mechanism which continuously works whenever the ICV is operating. Added to all the other outstanding features of the ICV, it results in the most durable and reliable valve available that can consistently withstand pressures of up to 220 PSI. The ICV Filter Sentry. When it comes to valve performance, there’s no better way to stand guard over dirt.

Commercial Irrigation Valves FAQs
Yes. Many homeowners successfully install their own irrigation valves. With the right tools, resources and a bit of DIY spirit, it’s a manageable project. SunshowerOnline provides detailed product information, helpful guides and expert advice to support your DIY installation.
However, if you prefer professional assistance, we also offer design services and can connect you with qualified installers. Moreover, our Instant Quote system can help you determine the scope of your project and decide if DIY installation is the right choice for you.
Regularly inspect valves for leaks, debris and signs of wear and tear. Flush your system periodically to remove any buildup that could clog valves or sprinklers. In colder climates, winterise your system to prevent freeze damage. For solenoid irrigation valves, check the diaphragm and solenoid for proper operation. Proper maintenance ensures your irrigation valves and fittings function efficiently and last longer. Consult an expert right away if you identify any issues.
The lifespan of an irrigation valve can vary depending on several factors, including the valve quality, water quality and system maintenance. Generally, a well-maintained valve made from durable materials can last 10–15 years or more. However, factors like hard water with mineral buildup or frequent pressure fluctuations can shorten their lifespan.
Fully installed by a professional, a domestic irrigation system will come out to about $1000 per zone. And as a DIY project, it can look more like $300 per zone! But of course that’s a very rough estimate, each system is different and there are a lot of factors to consider. Thankfully, we have the only tool around that INSTANTLY give an accurate estimate for your. Try our INSTANT Irrigation Quote Tool here!
To choose the right irrigation system, consider the size and layout of your garden or lawn, the types of plants you’re watering and your water source. Spray systems are ideal for most applications like lawns and gardens, while drip irrigation works well for mulched garden beds and areas exposed to wind and evaporation. For expert advice tailored to your needs, request a quote from us.
To set up an irrigation system, start by planning the layout, then install the mainline pipes, valves and fittings. Attach the sprinklers, drip emitters or other irrigation devices, and connect the system to a controller. Finally, test and adjust the system to check for proper coverage and efficiency. For a more precise and tailored setup, visit our Design Department. Our experts can design and quote a customised irrigation system that perfectly fits your landscape.
