There's a fellow farmer in Loudoun County, VA, where I live, who uses a
filter made for painting. He filters water from Catoctin Creek, and
says this filter works great - TxBeeFarmer wrote: Hello Allan and All, I was looking at those "spin filters" too. There was a big one you could put on where you pump out of the pond, and there were some small ones that go at the beginning of each drip line. Glad I found out they don't work for silt. So the sand filter didn't work either? Or did it just need to be bigger? Anyone have success with another type of filter? How about disc filters? I was thinking of using one tank as a settling tank. does your silt settle out very well?

We had lots of SILT in our water. I was fairly dissatisfied with the filtering and, frankly, they often clogged, which is just no good. I wound up going with a pool sand filter from Rain-flo. This, sad to say, only solved the problem of total clogging. I feel that this season I'll be adding the spin filters to the drip headers to keep the water 'more clear.' This means cleaning them before each irrigation session. (I'm thinking of getting a 2nd sand filter, which, I hope and pray, would totally solve my silt problem.) _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming Get the list FAQ at: http://www.marketfarming.net/mflistfaq.htm_______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming Get the list FAQ at: http://www.marketfarming.net/mflistfaq.htm -- Robert Farr - The Chile Man All-Natural Sauces, Salsas, Pesto, & More! http://www.thechileman.com (540) 668-7160 (local No. VA) (877) 668-7160 (toll-free) |
