Is anyone using the Ryonet filtration system?

Maybe Ryonet can provide higher mesh screens to pre-filter the water before it hits the "real" filters. If the final screen was 305 or even 355 mesh it may help to keep the round filters working longer.

This would not work well.
We have one of these filters and the screens plug up to fast now.
We are pulling the unit out way to often to clean the screens because they clog to fast and overflow.
This filter is more work than you think.

We have been using the Ryonet system for around a year.
Its great. Sure it requires maintenance, but pulling out the  screens and cleaning takes
all of 5 minutes.... We put a cut in half panty hose over the pipe, throw screens in booth
and clean. The Yam Bag catches the slough. It drains, and then in the trash... We always put a
cheapo furnace filter on top as the 'first stage' of filtration.  Goes right in the trash after a few days,
but keeps the tape and larger stuff from clogging filters. 
We go through quite a few screens per day, but we have never experienced having to replace cylinder filters
at the rate that Eric is talking about. Thats strange..  - John

Has anyone tried Easiway EDF-100 Filtration Unit? It looks like it uses a 100 micron sock filter but no other real info on how the rest of the unit is configured.

I like that idea, John. We're looking at the ryonet unit for our next filter system and my plan was to add a sheet of filter media over the top as the first layer of filtering to keep everything else somewhat more clean. Easy and cheap to replace.
