lets get real here

what is the pressure drop curve for these filters ?
gonna be one thing at 1gpm, and a very different value at 2.5 or 3gpm

I use filters in test loops (big ones, or the small ones from Lytron coolers), but do not use them in WCing systems due to their head loss

so a realistic comparison of a 'micro fine' wb needing a filter, should be done as the components are installed in a system, i.e. with a filter
- that would certainally change the equation !

I do have a small amount of experience with the Cascade, and it does warrant the use of a filter
the WW is considerably less 'picky'

lets keep the Cascade in perspective; we do many things for a race car that we ignore on a street car, wbs are little different
