The laundry lint filter I posted is really just a small filter bag hanging in a plastic canister. NOTHING high-tech about it AT ALL. I don't know where you buy filter bag fabric, or how easy it is to buy it in small quantities. A google search turned up http://www.lamports.com/lfbags.htm but they seem like the sort of company that sells in bulk to other manufacturers. For the price it was just not worth it to me to track down this kind of stuff and design and build one myself. The thing will last basically forever, with occasional replacement of the filter bag being the only thing that can really ever be necessary. I'm not sure if the problem is overblown, but my filter grabs enough wet lint to amount to a large fistful every month or two. I'd just as soon keep that out of the septic system, whether it would settle out in the tank or not. It was more lint than that before we got our front-load washer.
