Quote:1. That's gonna be your biggest hurdle. All of that silt is what is going to cause that filter to have such a big pressure drop and I really don't know how you would get around that.

 

2. Do you have an idea of the mesh size that you absolutely need to have on the filter? Maybe you can go to a bigger mesh size and still get the performance that you want.

 

 

Seems to me that they put that filter in because they knew that the pump needed to be protected, and that the filter was going to cause such a drop that they were going to need a pump to make up for it. Is setting up another filter in parallel with the one that already exists an option? That way, the system can operate while you clean the offline filter.

 

105 Microns. Nothing will be damaged by letting sand through per se, it just clogs up emitters of which there are roughly 15,000. That's a bit more than I like to change on the weekend 

 

The main line has a Spin-Clean filter which allows it to run for hundreds of hours between cleanings. The injector stuff just needs to stay clean for a day basically, so I can get away with smaller filters that rob less pressure. I hope.
