Braumeister/Nextgen moving top filter question?

[aamcle]

I don't want to clutter the main thread with this, I've read the first 60 or so pages and not found/can't remember the answer.

Is it important that the top filter moves up and down as the pump goes on and off? Does it prevent stuck mashes.

Many thanks. Aamcle

No. Not important at all. The top filter on my large one rests on the hex heads of my lifting bolts. I put the bolts about one inch down the side of the malt pipe pot to give about half an inch to the top of the pot - which gives space for the brain Marie reinforcing bars I used to sit down slightly into the pot.
