well it kinda hard to tell because i use homemade screens, the one im using now has 16 squares per inch. so that would be 16 mesh???

with that water flow how big could i go in screen size? just looking for ideas, i dont want to buy a new pump right now so im using this old beat up one LOL

thanks

The water flow looked about right, you wont know until you test your tailings.
