Match Orifice Size
Finer emitters need finer filtration. Oversizing screen holes courts clogs downstream.
Disc vs Screen
Disc filters handle organic loads well; screens are simple and cheap for cleaner sources.
Flush Points
Install flush valves and teach crews a routine—partial clogs show up as edge dry-out first.
Water Source Clues
Well water with iron or algae needs chemistry plus filtration—filters alone may not win.
