So, making some progress and decided to take the guess work out of my elevations.
I might be making the sieve smaller to accommodate a wedge wire screen from a retail unit? Or, I might bite the bullet and try the cloth and give a true account of how it performs
The picture of my elevations is below.
Top red line will be the overall height of the sieve.
Second red line is the height of my water with the way I have it running. I still have over 1.5 inches that I could raise the overall height if I were to restrict the output of my SLO and change my height of the surface skimmer.
Green line is going to be the height of my weir. 1" below current water line with another 7" of space to accommodate overall water height changes
***I can adjust the output from the tank to manually adjust the overall water height. Also when simulating a power outage, the water currently equalizes 1/2" below my weir mark.
Purple line represents the top of the inlet on my sump tank for the output of the sieve.
Bottom red line is the top of the paver brick or bottom of the sieve.
So now I just have to decide where I am going to make my outlet and will probably have to elevate the sieve so I can maintain flow to my sump and not have so much water below whatever wire that is below.
