5 Gallon Pail EZ-Strainer 75 micron for Bucket Biodiesel Water WVO Paint SVO WVO Filtering Filter Save 23% Off

tried using this to filter mash for brewing. ended up being really difficult to push the mash through, and i lost a lot of the starches because of how fine the mesh was. best to use a wider mesh for that, but im sure it works great for bio diesel.

I purchased this 75 micron filter for use as a pre-filter to remove sediment from spring water prior to the water being passed through a carbon filter. This filter fit the 5 gallon food-grade bucket I bought for the job. I don''t have a micron-meter to see exactly how tiny the holes in this filter are (queue laugh track), but the screen is a very fine mesh. Because it appears to be exactly what is claimed, the quality looks fine, and the service was good, we''re gonna hand 5 stars for this one.

As a sidebar, I am trying to remove both any sediment, as well as the sulfur smell from the water. And of course any bugs that happen to be there. The filters for the ''britta'' style filters are a bit pricey, so with a bit of research I found a less expensive, more efficient filter by buying a ceramic based carbon filter. You simply drill a center hole in the bottom of a food-grade 5 gallon bucket and mount the filter. The bucket then sits on an identical bucket with a similar hole pre-drilled. in the top (and you drill and attach a spout at the bottom of the lower bucket). I also bought a little filter ''sock'' that goes over the carbon filter to remove any sediment remaining after the water passes through the 75 micron mesh filter under review, which of course fits in the top of the upper bucket with the carbon filter at the bottom. The $15 or so britta style filters I looked at filter about 40 gallons of water before replacement is required, whereas the $25 ceramic carbon filter handles about 3000 gallons. Because of the pre-filtering stages the carbon filter should last quite a while. So for about $50 (minus the buckets, which you can often find for free) I have a pretty robust filter system capable of high volume and economical operation. (the other mentioned filter parts came from homespunenvironmental. add the dot com)
