For us southerners who still empty our grey water on the lawn, we need a filter. Or the customer will be rather pissed to see a big lump of crap on that grass right next to the driveway
You take your foot and roll it into a wad about the size of a wet dead rat.

Then step on it to squish the life out, and with your hand inside a little Wal-Mart bag pick it up turning the bag inside out and tying it.

Just rubber band a paint filter on the end of your hose..

I'd rather filter it before it enters my tank, not after. Just think when you're all done and you're putting everything up, and it takes twice as long to enter your tank, because the filter is probably getting full on the dump. You're slowly waiting for the tank to empty. Am I exaggerating or does that really happen?

I go in my tank every 10-15 days to change the pantyhose pulled over my blower filters. There's barely some hair on them. No filter box. A garden hose sprays down the inlet side of the tank, takes 30 seconds, another 30 secs for the other part of tank. No fur on the tank walls. What in thee hell are you guys smoking....

Odd that you dont have more lint. You must either spend alot of time pre-vaccuming or have a small blower?

Of course once the pantyhose has a small amount of lint covering them the suction will be reduced. 10-15 days seems like along time. I wonder what your dry times are like.

I think it depends more on location of blower filter than blower size.
If your filter is closer to the tank inlets or in the main air stream it will pick up more lint.
I have a 56 blower and probably clean it every 50-100 hours but I use a big filter with a lot of surface area.

I had a filter built for my tank using stainless 80mesh. Had it opened up to give it more surface area. I've had soil in it so fine that water was collecting in it.

do you have a lint trap or lint filter box?
Your post makes it seem that you don't have lint traps or boxes and only blower filters.
