FILTROL 160
I read some of the information on thier site and consider it pure bull___t, 90% of lint is cotton and it is heaver that water so it would normally sink to the bottom of the septic tank and rot along with all the other toilet paper, food waste and other s__t. The little bit of synthetic lint that might float out into the drain fields could never block hundreds of feet drain tubes as the lint is very pores and water would just flow through it. Maybe if you had business that washed thousands of synthetic rugs a year you might have some thing to worry about.

unfortunately for me my basment drains into a sewage ejection system, and the lint must be caught, jammed it once, never again!....too messy to describe......but having several machines draining into a tub, those little lint filters get expensive after a while....solution, went to 5Below, and for about 5 bucks, got a desktop storage box, made of a metal frame and screen.....sits in the corner of the sink, and all the hoses are directed into this first......a simple backflush with a garden hose cleans it, about once a month for me, I have four machines pumping into this, your mileage may vary, I can take a pic if needed
I have replaced too many of these for customers in the past, when not available, I just used some pvc plastic pipe to replace the filter, no one has ever noticed the difference, these filters are the only ones that really function, compared to todays self cleaning ones IMO.....but take it out, with proper washing techniques, you won't have a lint problem!....I rarely use the lint filters in my Filter flos...
