A filter and manifold assembly 3, for a fluid supply system comprises: a manifold body defining a manifold volume having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet to enable fluid flow through the manifold volume. A filter 10, is configured to be receivable within the manifold volume and when so received the filter separates and defines an inlet volume in direct fluid communication with the inlet and an outlet volume in direct fluid communication with the outlet so that fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the filter. A removable closure 9, is removably attachable over an access aperture in the manifold body and configured so as to close the access aperture when so attached and allow access to the manifold volume when so removed. The removable closure includes an elongate projecting portion projecting externally of the assembly when the closure is attached, and shaped to be insertable within the manifold volume when the closure is removed. Advantageously the filter and manifold assembly may form part of a gravity-fed header tank irrigation system and the removable closure may provide for in-situ cleaning of the filter. |
