Lint filter doesn't stay free of debris, guess what happens?
I'm also curious why you would want to filter waste water. Seems to
me, it would be like wanting to filter toilet water. Sewers are there
for a purpose.



live in florida, have 2 septic tanks, one is for gray water which
receives the kitchen sink and laundry discharge, the lines ( which Y
together ) under the slab for the gray water is 2 inch PVC. every two
years without fail I have had to have Roto Rooter or some other drain
cleaning company clean out the pipe under the slab because of pet / human
hair and lint. always over a hundred dollars, the last clean out the
plumber said why don't you put ladies nylon hose over drain hose and
clamp it on being sure to check it each week after laundry day. I am an
elderly woman, sure was relieved I could do it myself and not have to
write that big check every other year. He also said it would keep build
up out of septic tank which is a greater expense to clean.

That story also means the PVC pipes were most likely put in backwards so
there is a sharp end collecting the lint. Several years ago I had to
have a septic system completely rebuilt because it was put in by a moron
contractor. My neighbor doing the work pointed out the incorrect order
of the 4inch PVC going to the septic tank.

Bet you have the same problem, but there is no way to correct it.
