Description

Our Wedge Wire Water Well Screen (Johnson Screen) is the industry benchmark for groundwater extraction applications throughout Australia. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel with precision continuous slots, these screens provide maximum open area for water inflow while preventing sand and sediment entry into the well bore.

The unique V-shaped slot design creates inwardly widening openings that allow fine particles to pass through while keeping larger formation grains outside the screen. This self-cleaning characteristic significantly reduces clogging and maintains consistent specific capacity over the operational life of the well.

Each well screen is manufactured with precision-wound wedge wire supported by longitudinal rods, resistance welded at every intersection to create a robust, cage-like structure. The smooth internal surface minimises head loss and allows efficient well development and rehabilitation operations.

Available in standard NPT threaded, plain bevelled, or welded end connections with optional centralisers, packers, and borehole adaptors. Slot sizes are matched to aquifer grain size analysis for optimal performance in sand, gravel, and fractured rock formations.

Key Features:
– Continuous slot design maximises open area and well yield
– V-shaped slots prevent sand ingress and clogging
– 316 stainless steel resists corrosion in aggressive groundwater
– All-welded construction provides structural strength for deep installations
– Smooth internal surface for efficient well development
– Slot sizes matched to formation characteristics
– Threads or weld ends for easy installation
– Manufactured to ASNEMA and Australian water well standards

Our water well screens are used by drilling contractors, water utilities, mining operations, and agricultural users across Australia for groundwater production, dewatering, and environmental monitoring applications.
