I have been reading this thread trying to figure out just what everybody is talking about. I finally removed my sump plate to see what the filter (particularly MY filter) looked like. ... I am totally shocked at what I found and all the back and forth on the subject. The sump screen is simply that A SCREEN has anybody ever rebuilt or been inside oh lets say a small block Cheverolet? ... the pick up tube has a screen that is much more coarse than what is in the bottom of the xs. That is because the major part of the filtration is done post pump. The screen is there simply to keep large particles from entering the pump. I am going to stick with a simple screen on the intake side and upgrade the filter on the other side of the pump
