Abstract
An example water well submersible pump filter may comprise: (1) a perforated cap; (2) a hollow cylindrical middle member joined to the perforated cap at a first end of the hollow cylindrical middle member, wherein the hollow cylindrical middle member comprises a perforated hollow cylindrical segment proximate to the first end of the hollow cylindrical middle member; and (3) a filter crown joined to a second end of the hollow cylindrical middle member, wherein the filter crown comprises a ring of fins extending approximately parallel to an axis of the hollow cylindrical middle member.

A water well submersible pump filter comprising:
- a perforated cap;
- a hollow cylindrical middle member joined to the perforated cap at a first end of the hollow cylindrical middle member, wherein the hollow cylindrical middle member comprises a perforated hollow cylindrical segment proximate to the first end of the hollow cylindrical middle member;
- and
- a filter crown joined to a second end of the hollow cylindrical middle member, wherein the filter crown comprises a ring of fins extending approximately parallel to an axis of the hollow cylindrical middle member;
- wherein lengths of the perforated cap, the hollow cylindrical middle member, and the filter crown are dimensioned such that:
- an upper end of a motor of a water well submersible pump inserted into the water well submersible pump filter is positioned below at least a portion of the filter crown when the water well submersible pump filter and the water well submersible pump are inserted into a water reservoir, and
- a lower end of the motor of the water well submersible pump is positioned above at least a portion of the perforated cap when the water well submersible pump filter and the water well submersible pump are inserted into the water reservoir.

A water well submersible pump filter comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical member comprising a perforated hollow cylindrical segment;
- and
- a filter crown comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical crown segment joined to an end of the hollow cylindrical member at a first end of the hollow cylindrical crown segment,
- a hollow conical crown segment joined to a second end of the hollow cylindrical crown segment at a first end of the hollow conical crown segment, wherein a diameter of the first end of the hollow conical crown segment is larger than a diameter of a second end of the hollow conical crown segment, and
- a ring of fins joined to, and extending longitudinally from, the second end of the hollow conical crown segment;
- wherein lengths of the hollow cylindrical member and the filter crown are dimensioned such that an upper end of a motor of a water well submersible pump inserted into the water well submersible pump filter is positioned beneath at least a portion of the filter crown when the water well submersible pump filter and the water well submersible pump are inserted into a water reservoir.

A water well submersible pump filter comprising:
- a dome-shaped perforated cap, wherein a first end of the dome-shaped perforated cap tapers to an apex and a second end of the dome-shaped perforated cap comprises a circular end;
- a hollow cylindrical middle member joined to the second end of the dome-shaped perforated cap at an end of the hollow cylindrical middle member, wherein the hollow cylindrical middle member comprises a perforated hollow cylindrical segment;
- and
- a filter crown joined to a second end of the hollow cylindrical middle member, wherein the filter crown comprises a ring of fins extending approximately parallel to an axis of the hollow cylindrical middle member;
- wherein lengths of the dome-shaped perforated cap, the hollow cylindrical middle member, and the filter crown are dimensioned such that:
- an upper end of a motor of a water well submersible pump inserted into the water well submersible pump filter is positioned below at least a portion of the filter crown when the water well submersible pump filter and the water well submersible pump are inserted into a water reservoir, and
- a lower end of the motor of the water well submersible pump is positioned above at least a portion of the dome-shaped perforated cap when the water well submersible pump filter and the water well submersible pump are inserted into the water reservoir.
