Try putting some sort of screen out in front of the filter? Something
you can just pull out quickly and dump the debris?


I tried that for a number of months.. the screening gets clogged in a day,
and you are constantly yanking the pump out to clear it. SO much easier tio
build the mesh planter cage, and clean that once ever few weeks.


Yes. I didn't mean to attach it to the filter or pump, but to make a
box around the filter out of screening that could be lifted out,
shaken clean and popped right back over the filter.
