How does a wire mesh filter work as a filter technology?

Wire mesh filter can be used as a filter technology in horticulture. Wire mesh filter is wire mesh that is stretched by use of metal threads, with fine openings between the different metal threads. When polluted water is pumped through the wire mesh filter, the dirt particles from this water will stay behind in the openings of the wire mesh filter.
