Thread: Filtreau screen replacement

Hi all
Has anyone replaced a filtreau standard or hi flo screen ?
I’ve bought one and while trying to install it it cracks !! See pics
I can still install it but this seems like a problem

Drum, it’s now consigned to spares !
Now ordering micron 70 mesh to replace the old mesh ! Easier and cheaper lol lesson learnt today
Thanks for your input

1- Only do anything when it’s warm, or soak in hot water or use a hairdryer
2- I used to get 2 long pieces of string, wrap it round and gradually tighten them over a period of days a little bit at a time so it gradually took the right shape, then when I went to fit I went back to 1 - soak in hot water first

if it helps I broke the first one I tried too

lol it’s a expensive lesson ! Oh well
I’ll order new mesh for the old drum that should be fine
Thanks for input
