If you really won't lint, strain the washer water.

I plumbed my house for both black and gray sewage.  The black goes directly 
to the septic plant.  The gray goes to a settlement barrel, then to a 55 
gallon barrel with a float operated pump.

I made a six port manifold that allows gray water to be directed to various 
places in the yard and discharged through homemade PVC sprinkler heads.

The lint caught in a strainer at the 55 gal barrel is more than I ever 
dreamed.  I don't see how clothes last as long as they do.

I installed valves that allow me to send gray water to the plant in case 
something goes wrong with the pumping system.
