Build a Better Barrel Filter

This heavy-duty screen is designed to create a false bottom inside 55-gallon drum pond filters, keeping filter media elevated while allowing water and waste to flow below.

Made from thick, rigid polycarbonate plastic—this is not flimsy mesh and not metal. It provides a solid, durable platform that will not sag, rust, or collapse under load.

DISCONTINUED – LIMITED INVENTORY

This screen is no longer manufactured.
Once current inventory is sold out, it will not be restocked.

Why This Screen Matters

  • Creates a false bottom to separate filter media from sludge
  • Prevents gravel, bio media, or debris from clogging drains and plumbing
  • Allows even water flow through filter media
  • Improves overall filtration efficiency
  • Rigid design supports weight without flexing
  • Will not rust or corrode like metal alternatives

Designed for DIY 55 Gallon Barrel Filters

  • Fits standard 55-gallon drums (steel or plastic)
  • Ideal for:
    • Static bed filters
    • Moving bed filters
    • Gravel or bog-style filters
  • Provides full-coverage support for filter media layers

How It Works

Installs inside the drum above the inlet or drain area, creating a raised platform.
Filter media sits on top, while waste and debris settle below—helping keep your filtration system cleaner and more efficient.
