Looking to really wrap up my ultrasonic cleaner install.  After a couple of runs I realized how much crap builds up in the bottom of the tub when you drain it.  I'd like to do some sort of filter system to pick up all the sediment and nastiness that shows up.  

I'd like to put it on the copper line, mounted to that leg of the workbench, with the open end dropping into storage containers.

McMaster has these but I think they may clog quickly https://www.mcmaster.com/filters/strainers/low-pressure-bronze-y-strainers-8/

Anyone have anything they've used that they like?

I'm trying to find something that is self contained.  I'd like to be able to put another shut off valve on the bottom so I can close off the valve when changing out containers.  The part of my garage it is in is not an area that will be able to be cleaned out easily so the goal is to set it up in order to leave as little mess as possible.

In reply to californiamilleghia :

Maybe?  Know where I might be able to find some more of those that I could look at?

I'm not sure if I'd need a spark-proof pump.  I would like to avoid the complexity of needing to add another electrical plug to the system if possible.

 

Edit: didn't realize it was that generic a term to search for those 50s filters.  If I could get my hands on one and take a look at it I might be able to tell
