What is Water Well Screen?
Filson water well screen, also known as V wire well screen, is specially designed to maintain a good water supply from the surrounding aquifer and ensures long-term satisfactory operation of the water well.
Fully welded structure gives Filson water well screen a strong construction to withstand deformation or collapse. With precision and small slots, it can perfectly prevent fine sands and sediment, which damages sensitive pumps through abrasion.
Filson water well screen enjoys a higher open area than other type of well screen, such as slotted pipe, punched pipe, and louver screens. Besides, Filson also provides other sizes of well screens, including 4-inch well screen, 10-slot well screen, etc.
Water Well Screen Main Categories by Materials
Totally adopted by quality PVC materials, Filson PVC water well screen is featured with outstanding resistance to corrosion and chemicals, hence it can be used for longer service life in harsh conditions. It is available for 1/2 to 8 inch.
Equipped with unique V-shaped wire construction, Filson stainless steel water well screen has little risks of clogging. Meanwhile, its minimal drawdown also reduces the energy usage of the pump, protecting the sensitive equipment and reducing the maintenance costs.

Filson slotted liner sand screen also referred to sand screen for water well. After advanced laser cutting technology with CNC indexing system, Filson product has highly precision slot size and shapes, which improves sand control capacity and production efficiency.
Water Well Screen Types by Applications (5)
Filson screen pipe for borewell is featured with smooth surface, so hydraulic resistance is lower than other types. And with precision slots, it also has high filtration accuracy and clogging-free. Available for various materials, it enjoys high mechanical strength under harsh conditions.
With more than 28% porosity, Filson screen pipe for air conditioning well is able to reduce water infiltration speed and the flow resistance, which not only increases the water intake but also reduces the precipitation period.
Featured with excellent filtration, anti-blocking and erosion resistance, Filson screen pipe for geothermal well is capable of prolonging the life cycle of the geothermal well while reducing the cost. Besides, thanks to trapezoidal structure, it can selfe-cleaning.
Through precision machining, Filson screen pipe for precipitation well enjoys higher pressure bearing capacity than other pipes because its surface without welding process. And it also has superb sand control capacity to prevent outside particles entering and reduces energy loss.
Compare to bridge type and cement pipe, Filson deep well screen pipe has lightweight and easy to go down into the well, which greatly reduces the risks and other unsafe factors caused by construction. With highly mechanical strength, it prolongs deep well lasting life.
Water Well Screen Benefits
Each intersection is welded, Filson water well screen creates a strong and durable screen to withstand high pressure. Besides, it is available for backwashing.
With a lighter weight than a metal well screen, Filson PVC well screen is easier to install and handle with less labor costs.
Supporting large areas, Filson water well screen has effective water flow, high yield, and lower pressure drops, which allows our product to use less energy.
Based on your application needs, Filson water well screen provides diverse types and materials, such as PVC, stainless steel, galvanized metal, etc.

Water Well Screen FAQ Guide
Before clean, there are three things you need to prepare:
- Granular acid (muriatic, phosphoric, or sulfamic)
- Measuring cup
- Protective gear
Then, let’s clean your water well screen. First, open the priming plug port, which is usually located before the pump inlet. Then add the acid. Remember to wear protective gear such as a face mask and gloves. And the granules need to dissolve slowly and gradually reach the water well screen. Finally, after about 12 hours the acid will clean off the build-up sediment.
Water well screen is available in a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, PVC, galvanized carbon steel, carbon steel, etc. However, based on their properties, stainless steel and PVC materials are the suitable choice.
A stainless steel water well screen has high mechanical strength, but corrosion resistance is low and costs more. PVC water well screen enjoys outstanding corrosion resistance and is lightweight, but it is not stronger than stainless steel.
These include continuous slot screens, slot pipes, torch cut screens, wire wrap, bridge slots, shutter screen design, etc. Each of them has a unique efficiency level, if you want to buy a suitable one, you can get a recommendation from a water well driller or Filson professional sales.
You can check the well pump, groundwater level, or water filters. What’s more, a pressure booster pump or constant pressure valve can also increase water pressure.
