Questions and Answers for Superior Pump 2 in. FNPT Lake Screen Filter

A:  I am using it with a 2-1/2 HP irrigation pump with 2" inlet and works just fine

A:  Hi there, This lake screen filter is designed to be used on the intake side of a jet, well or sprinkler pump, not the discharge. This has not been tested on the out flow. As a guess, I would say it could cut the flow by 1/4 to 1/3rd and without knowing the pump's output or discharge size,this is just a guess. Thanks

A:  i have a 3/4 hp pump. run about 40LBs of pressure

A:  yes

A:  yes, yes

A:  NO, you can downsize to a smaller one.

A:  I dont use a check valve and yes, it's threaded

A:  you can connect a hose to the water system run a pump. If you wanted to hook a hose up to it, you would need the proper fittings, but i dont think it would work right as a hose is not very rigid. I have 1 1/4 PVC tubing connected to it.

A:  no

A:  Hi Paul, The filter has 2" pipe thread so you would need to get a 2" X 3/4" bushing and a 3/4" x garden hose adapter to attach this to a hose but it is very doable.. Thanks Superior Pump

A:  Hi Hal, Yes it will clog the lake screen but it will take a lot to clog it. If you were to check and clear it periodically, you would be fine using it. Thanks
