Hello!

Have a ~8 ft deep dug well feeding two 55-gallon drums under the cabin here via 1" poly tubing. Long story, but after having some recent trouble with the water line, I realized that the previous owner did not put a screen on the 1" poly outlet at the bottom of the well. I'd like to get a screen over it but am not sure what material would be best. Looking for something that'll filter out larger particles while not corroding or affecting water quality if it's sitting underwater for a long stretch. Any recommendations?

I've done quite a few searches, and posted in here in the event that someone with relevant experience would offer personal input!
