Ben,

For what you describe you ought to have a filter piped in parallel with a bypass. After filling the system and rarely thereafter you would open the filter line and close the bypass. After running through the filter line a while, you would switch back. This also allows you to change out the filter element while the system is running.

In this case a fine mesh would be all right. You can get microscreens in both metal and plastic and our competitors have them in the 10 micron range. The cloth we use would also be fine, but is not as amenable to locating in a closed loop as you wish. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to direct you to obtain wire or plastic mesh that fine.

Best luck.
