    It it a double-layer screen? Did you rough it up? Can you take the pipe off for cleaning?

    hi SM no i did nt double layer the screen can be easy done though, just need to cut ti raps and add a extra bit of screen material , it will be well sanded before fitting , yes it will all come to bits , also going to put algae shades over the slots ,
    1 / are you better of having one full slot or lots of small slots ,

    You obviously have to have a long slot to put the screen in. But the cross slot help more water flow, and keep it from clogging:

    Two or more layers is always better. Very roughed up.

    The new material is $10 shipping to anywhere. But it's for testing, and is only in one size: 11.5 X 11.5 inches.
