The typical $100-200 coolant units have a screen in the return inlet to the tank to catch big chips, and a baffle in the tank so the smaller chips in the coolant that pass through the return screen will settle to the bottom of the tank in that chamber while the coolant will flow over the top of the baffle into the chamber with the pump. The pumps themselves are ones that can handle fine chips without issues. If you need to really filter the coolant to prevent clogging small coolant nozzles or the loc-line check valves a normal "whole house" 9" filter unit with the basic 5 micron sediment filters will do the job as long as you have a bacteriacide in the coolant, otherwise they tend to clog quickly with bacteria growth.

I decided to set up coolant on my router to make it easier to work with aluminium. For coolant pump I used windshield washer pump from unknown car (probably BMW), just had it laying around. The thing is that I would like to filter off small chips, before the coolant flows in the tank and goes through the pump again. Currently the filtering is done through a piece of cloth, but this approach sucks. mostly because of insufficient throughput. I wanted to ask, how do other people usually solve this question and remove small chips from coolant? Or maybe should I use a pump that does not really much care about small chips in the fluid?
