Buon Vino Mini Jet 3/8-Inch Pre-Screen Strainer for Wine Sediment, 1 Count

I used it to protect the pump of the filter while filtering elderberry wine. The particles in the wine would be sufficient to lock up the pump if not used. This allowed for filtering without any issues. The filtered wine came out exceptionally clear using the coarse filters and then filtering with the #2 filter set. Once again, I highly recommend this prefilter. One thing to note is that this is a directional flow filter so be sure to find the arrows on the body of it, and set up your hoses to flow in the direction of the arrows. You have to look close to spot the arrows, but they are definitely there.

Used as a pre filter with the Buon Vino Mini Jet Pump. This will definitely save your pump from any seeds, stalks or debris that can damage your pump. Highly recommend and it works as expected. It is washable and will last as long as care is taken to clean after each use. I also saw it for much less than the price I purchased with the pump on Amazon.

Does agiod job filtering oit the large particals and protecting the pump

Works as it should doing the pre-screen. Used it without the main filter hooked up and just moving my mead to another jug. Got the few bits that wouldnt drop out and I had clear mead without having to use the main filter. Used it today with the primary filter pump and it worked great. Caught some bits that had been missed in my mead. Also used it for 5 gallons of wine today. And it did what it was designed for. Its a great prescreen filter.

This little product is so easy to use and a must buy to elevate your wine and beer to a higher level. It can catch trub (if you really wanted to put it to the test) and it can catch hops, fruit, seeds, etc. It is the perfect prefilter before the actual filtering of the brew/wine/mead/Melomiel. 10/10 would buy again!

The inner mesh filter did not weld properly. Particles will escape from the gap.

It looks like it would do the job, and it seems like it's built pretty well, However - Since this was advertised as being for the Mini Jet, I assumed it would be just a matter of hooking up some tubing, but the size of tubing that fits the Mini-Jet (1/4"ID?) is too small for the pre-screen filter.

Saves wear and tear on your filter system. A must if you use wood chips in your wine.

Small and compact. Works great. Getting the top off to clean was a chore but eventually, with patience, it came off.

Works great. I fastened it to my shelf with wing nuts so it can easily be removed and cleaned..

Works very well

J’ai acheté ce filtre pour une utilisation avec le filtreur buon vino minijet. Je m’apercois lors de ma premiere utilisation que les embouts connecteur ne correspondent pas . Le vendeur a spécifié que le pre-filtre est pour le minijet et ce n’est pas exact.
