Rain Bird RWSSOCK sand sock is a protective soil filter designed for use with Rain Bird RWS and RWS‑Mini Root Watering Systems. It prevents fine sand and soil particles from entering the RWS cylinder, helping maintain consistent water delivery to plant roots and reducing the need for frequent emitter maintenance.

  • Compatibility: Fits Rain Bird RWS and RWS‑Mini root watering cylinders without modification.
  • Primary function: Blocks fine sand and soil from penetrating and clogging the irrigation cylinder.
  • Best conditions: Ideal for sandy or loose soils where particulate ingress is common.
  • Simple installation: Slide the sock over the RWS or RWS‑Mini cylinder before placing the unit in the planting hole.
  • Maintenance: Inspect periodically and rinse gently if trapped debris is visible to restore flow.
  • Performance benefits: Helps preserve consistent water flow to roots, reduces clogging, and lowers maintenance frequency in particle-prone soils.
  • Compatibility note: Designed specifically for RWS-series root watering cylinders; confirm fit on older or modified units before installation.

Use the RWSSOCK when installing root watering systems in sandy planting sites or when existing installations show signs of sediment intrusion. Regular visual checks after heavy soil disturbance will keep the system operating reliably. If you need further guidance on placement or maintenance, consult your irrigation professional or the product instructions that accompany your RWS unit.

It prevents fine sand and soil particles from entering the RWS cylinder, reducing clogging and lowering maintenance.
How do I install the RWSSOCK sand sock?
Slide the sock over the RWS or RWS‑Mini cylinder before backfilling the planting hole; ensure it covers the intake area.
How often should I inspect or clean the sand sock?
Inspect after installation and at least once a year or after heavy sediment events; remove and rinse if debris is visible.
