I guess I don't understand your problem. Your pump is clogging even with
the clamshell?

I think many of the answers were not to you, but to the OP who asked for
suggestions to a pump with no protection at the time.

Vinyl screening, imho, if held away from the pump, has about the same size
openings as the mesh baskets I have seen. Really large mesh baskets are
sometimes hard to find. Thus putting the pump in a bucket as Jim has done
or laundry/tote basket and then covered with screening gives adequate
surface area for most large pumps, and keeps tiny fry out. ~ jan



That's basically mine. Never had to unclog it
