Screens/filters for sap in IBC Totes
I am building a sap collecting trailer to go behind my tractor and I am using an IBC tote for the tank. I am using more buckets this year in addition to my tubing lines so I would like to filter my sap. Does anyone make or use any type of screens or filters that will fit in the opening of an IBC tote and still leave the threads usable for securing the cap back on? What mesh size should I look for?
