Don't just cover the intake itself or the filtering material can
clog and slow or stop the water flow. I wrap the entire pump in the
window screen - at least 2 or 3 layers. I don't depend on my pumps
being biological filters. If the screen is stiff and don't want to
stay in place I put some stones over it to keep down.

excellent idea, i used fish tank net before. do you thin the window
screen is ok for the water, i have no idea what its made of?

I buy the plastic window screen and it is safe. I rinse it first of course
to remove any dust before using. It lasts for a few years.

i found the specs on both and it seems like the titan may take less
energy, suprising, check this out.

would like to hear your opinion on the design if possible too. is it
more complicated and more likely to break do you believe? thanks
again.
========================
It looks like an excellent pump to me but the price seems a bit high. Look
at the Danner Pumps,.... shop around. You can get a 3000gph mag drive pump
for $109.99. Check out the Foster & Smith website www.DrsfosterSmith.com
and compare prices and GPH.
