I've only used it a handful of times so far before going on brewing-hiatus (to build a more accomodating brew-rig), but it's a peramant piece that I will never part with it... I Love it! Like I mentioned above, I have an oversized filter on the diptube and though the ebay seller of the mesh called it '420' it seems more like 380-ish compared to the actual 400 mesh filter net I bought from Filter Net for 3" OD Body Strainer After my wort leaves my keggle, it goes through a CFC (which drops from boil to pitching temp in one pass) with a 3/8" center, then to the pump, which is just the modest MP-15RM mounted at a level right between the bottom of the keggle and the top of the CFC, then into the filter which I mounted with a jury-rigged bracket on a microphone stand then right into the fermenter. All but one were 6.5G batches which experienced no slow-down at all... with the one 12G batch I used it on, it did slow down a bit towards the end. It catches the cold-break and most of the hop-silt that has made it out the keggle filter. I get significantly less and cleaner trub in bottom of my fermenter.
