home Continuous Slot Wedge Wire Well Screens – 3-1/2" to 14"
Water well screens, also called Vee wire well screens, are made of V or wedge shaped wires around an internal array of longitudinal support rods. It is designed to serve as the intake portion of wells constructed in unconsolidated or semi-consolidated aquifers. This design supplies a continuous slot openings, which allows water to enter the well freely in ample quantities and keeps the majority of sand and gravels out of the well at the same time.
