What mesh screen do you use? 100 mesh? 400 mesh etc. The standard bodum let's too much silt pass through, and I don't want to replace it with the sam

I never knew there was a difference in the mesh. I use a coarser ground french roast so I don't have an issue with any grounds getting through the filter. The replacement filter mesh featured here appears to be exactly the same as the one included with my original Bodum press purchase.

I feel like this filter is finer then the one that came with my french press.

Not sure which the standard is. We use the standard . We alway grind course. My Husband likes his coffee gritty ........... So I am not a good person to ask I guess sorry : (

You will always get a small amount of silt, but you should definitely use a coarse grind with a french press. Which means you cannot use normal store-bought pre-ground coffee (ground fine for drip coffee makers). With my Virtuoso grinder I use a setting of 39 out of 40. When getting beans ground at my local store/roaster/Starbucks/Dunkin' Donuts I always ask for a coarse grind for a french press (figuring the "worker" might understand one of those requests, if not both). If you are already using a coarse grind then, yes, you might want to experiment with a finer mesh. I will say, the less expensive the bean grinder the more dust will be produced along with one's coarse grindings...

I'm not sure, sorry -- I just ordered Micro Fine Reusable Coffee Filter for French Presses (Qty:2, Size: 4" (Fits 8 Cup Press)) Sold by Aurora Product Development to try to deal with the sild & grinds. The Bodum replacement I ordered was smaller & not turned up on the sides, but even with the original filter there was lots of silt. Hope this helps ...

The mesh on the fly screen is VERY small. I don't know that we have used this tent where there are no-seeums, but I have been around them and I don't believe they could get through this tent's mesh.

I use a 3200psi, my results have been fine for just dirt. More difficult strains (rust and grease) would be more difficult. Can't say if it would do it.

Pretty sure the answer is you can use the strainer. The mesh is extremely fine!

Best to use a Worm Drive saw and keep the cut line wet. What I do is to attach a sponge to the blade and keep the sponge wet. That stops the dust and the mesh.good luck.

Depends what you used the cheesecloth for. The double mesh definitely filters more than the single screen strainers. With cheesecloth you can squeeze out more moisture which is harder with a strainer.

There is a W541 optional disposable bag which is finer. I made my own bags from drain tubing socks to catch silt. Both fit inside the mesh bag.

Generally one scoop per cup using the Bodum scoop unless the grind your using is very fine.Very fine grind slows the flow of water which may cause backup and over flow because the filter screen is a fine mesh. Be sure to get the filter holder all the way in as the valve on the bottom has to push down the valve on the pot to get full flow. I didn't once and the water couldn't pass through the filter fast enough and overflowed.

Hey Brenda.....I tried the mesh holder couple of times. It worked well but was a mess to clean up so started using paper filters (#4). It is just easier and I hate cleaning!

Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60. I purchased a TR-60 that requires (according to Pentair specs), 50 lbs of pea gravel, and 275 lbs of .020 mic of sand. When installing my unit, I called the company, (tech. services). and they said that most people just install the sand and forget about the gravel, that I also did with my old Triton. The total used was 300 lbs., and the distance from the top of the sand and the inside top of the filter should be 10 1/2 inches, that turns out to be a perfect gauge of the height of the 300 lbs of sand. Each Triton model uses a different amount of sand/gravel. Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60.

The nylon netting in each layer sags if too much weight is placed on it. When it sags then everything moves toward the middle. It worked okay to dry beans, works great for herbs that you can spread out and garlic was too heavy. Depending on the weight of what you are putting in each section, I would think that heavier items would work better on metal type screens that are fastened to each side of a frame.

There is a very light plastic mesh that is supposed to degrade. Much less than I have seen in sod previously.

I cannot really tell you. I haven't used it in a situation where there have been fruit flies. I think the mesh would keep just about everything else out, but those fruit flies are pretty tiny. Wish I could be of more assistance.

You want to skip the Georgia clay. You want to use a good soil with materials to allow easy drainage, (sand, perlite etc) along with organic materials. A good bag plotting soil from a garden center. Because the soil is going to allow the water to flow thru, you will need to water often for best results. The cloth pots have worked great for me and I have ordered more.
