Is a vertical or horizontal screen better?

0

A vertical screen is “better”. It is proven, and it is the smallest and most powerful for a given amount of space, flow, and lighting. Horizontal is OK if you want to experiment, but if you absolutely must have results, go vertical. The biggest operational problem with horizontal is that as algae builds up on the screen, it blocks flow to areas downstream from it. This is because the water is not flowing very fast, and it cannot “jump” up and over the new growth. So the more algae, the more blockage, and thus it self-limits unless you have a LOT of flow. With a vertical, however, the flow is rapid and goes right over new growth.
