I soft soldered up some 30 micron SS mesh to make a filter and used some 1/2" copper tube which with a bit of heat on the tube to allow the 1/2" tube to slide inside the plastic tube and form a seal. Then I use use some 1/2" ag pipe to keep the plastic tube straight and make it 2"'s longer than the filter so the filter stays out of the trub and it doesn't take that long to do.
Then no pump is needed at all and just a quick wash of the plastic tube after use has it ready for next time :handgestures-thumbupleft:

why do you want the grain in there? i avoid that around my elements although its never grain free with my pump.

Thanks guys
