Mesh selection; flow rate; operating pressure; operating temperature; and chemical contact are some of the most important considerations. - Mesh selection Proper mesh selection is the primary consideration which insures the highest performance of the Vu Mesh selection is directly relative to filter maintenance requirements. One should choose the coarsest mesh possible for a given application to avoid high filter element maintenance requirements. Mesh should be sized such that the smallest passage or opening in the system is just slightly larger than your mesh opening. This mesh selection method allows non-problematic particulate to pass through the system. - Flow literature for mesh opening sizes. - Proper mesh selection is also important when considering the type of particulate to be filtered. Well and municipal water sources usually contain dramatically different particulate than above ground water sources. Well and municipal water supplies typically contain heavier than water particulate such as sand. Sand centrifugally separates well in mesh sizes of 24 to 140. Once sand is centrifugally separated it is easily flushed out of the filter through the purge valve. Some periodic manual cleaning of the filter element may be necessary with fine meshes 250 to 1000. Above ground water sources often contain air borne or biological particulate that do not readily flush out through the purge valve. Therefore; a course mesh selection is particularly important when filtering air borne or lighter than water particulate because the filter element will h
