Do you have any other filters that filter prior to the 150 mesh Y filter?

No. Except for the compost tea, all materials have little if any non-soluble or non-emulsifiable properties. Compost tea is filtered through a 400 micron mesh bag first.

When you dilute, what is the ratio of fertilizer to water?

Varies. Possible as concentrated as 1 gallon in a five gallon bucket filled with water.

What driplines
have you used successfully?

I use Toro 5/8" line that has the pressure-compensating, self-cleaning inline emitters. It is sometimes used for distributing effluent from onsite wastewater systems.

Sorry to be a pest about it but I'm trying to
anticipate what questions the grower will ask.

No problem.
