I fish the Mississippi river in Iowa and my screens clog constantly. The drivers side is a major pain to get to as the hose from the top of the livewell is so long it gets behind the battery tray, which has a battery in it. The stainless clamp at the filter cuts me every time but I have only one angle to use as it’s in a bad location. I looked for a screen \ filter that wasn’t so fine but had no luck at all. If someone has a link please share it, I need to fix this issue of low flow, especially in tournaments. I have considered using an awl to open up some larger holes as I have limited options, but don’t feel like I want to cause more problems.
Question 2 – Can I apply a screen or filter before the water gets to the filters discussed here? If so, what intake hole is this screen system coming from? Thanks
