Hi Red,
No worries on the micron size thing. That was more for others following along in case they where trying to find something that fine.
Thanks for the info on your setup. Looks good and I'll book mark that filter option. Just wish it was a cleanable filter. After mine die I need to find and option of something.
Oh one heads up on your nice setup, don't know if you where planning on assembling exactly like you show in the pic, here is a suggestion.
The pressure gage, flip the Tee up so the gage is on top verses the bottom. Reason, the gage and the tee pointed down becomes a bug and crud trap. As fine sediment sneaks by your strainer it can fall down into the Tee and Bordon tube of the gage and stay stuck in there.
If you flip the gage and tee up, it still works but gravity is in your favor now. The sediment is more swept straight through the Tee and into the filter, not stuck in the gage. Also the gage has a better chance of drain on top. It will never drain on the bottom and you may crack in the winter.
I have to deal with those kind of things on the machines we have. We call those kind of spots, dead legs. Water and get in, but then no longer moves as it is trapped in there. Crud over time festers, bugs grow and infect our system.
Good luck. The setup looks good.
