Filtrol 160 Washing Machine Lint Trap - Save Your Septic System

In this video I will be installing a Filtrol 160 lint trap. Use of the Filtrol can prevent premature septic system / drainfield failure, clogging of drain pipes and microfiber pollution in our natural water ways. This is a super easy installation. You will be surprised how much lint goes down the drain in a single load of laundry.

I am about to reconfigure my laundry room to make it more efficient. Typical big utility sink going bye-bye. I will be doing a similar wall drain as you show. We have ALWAYS used a filter (One leg from cheap pantyhose works great. Disposable). We replaced the drain field when we bought the place 24 years ago and that was $12,000 THEN. I am glad you posted this video because it reinforces what I am about to do. Biggest difference will be that my disposable "filter" will be something to empty instead of throw away. Keeping it easily accessible is key.

Thank you for this! We’re brand new homeowners, and just had to pay a lot of money from the toilet hooked up to the same line as the washing machine that was clogged with lint. Looking how to do a lint catcher with a stand up pipe. Helpful video!

[@Amber46327]

Thank you for sharing. Yes, it was so helpful. I was looking for something like this because when we moved into our home the drain to the washer was clogged. This will prevent that. Thank you again. Your video was hard to find but I’m glad I did.

Thanks, this was a good overview. I'm also on septic with an old leach field and planning to buy one "just to be safe".

[@OneManOnFire]

Thanks for the video I'll be looking into this now. I just need a idiot proof version for my rental units.

[@thebuddha4208]

I just had to stick water filters on the hot and cold line so they would stop clogging. I’m so glad I don’t have to do this.

Thanks I'm about to have a new septic system installed and looking how to maintain it and take care of it.... Thanks

How many times can you clean the filter before you have to replace it.

[@Amber46327]

How is it holding up? It’s been two years since you posted video and I’m ready to buy, just want to be sure it will last, not overflow and be a great long term solution. Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

It still works excellent. You just have to make sure you constantly empty it and dont let it clog. I can't believe how much lint it catches.

[@Offthegridfishing]

My toilet got clogged from my wash braking and me having to hand drain the water by hand now my toilet won’t flush and won’t get unclog by anything any suggestions thanks

[@noelleonard2498]

I have one of these, works great but the filter bag seam stitching comes loose very easily. Nothing is cheap with this thing

[@Sam-cg4mn]

Where did you buy this? Its May 2024 and i cant find this unit for sale online.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Bought it on Amazon but it looks like it's currently unavailable. Not sure what is going on

[@CKevni]

How is it holding up? Thinking of buying but the price is a turn off

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Works great. If you have a septic system you would be crazy not to buy it

[@gregdubya1993]

It's less than the price of one pump out.

[@GY6SCOOTERCHAT]

@@gregdubya1993it’s $850 bucks on Amazon. 😂

[@KeithsTVHD1]

I use a sock and it catches all of the lint.

[@mariaa.bryson8126]

Doesn't the actual sock contain lint? 🙄

[@firesurfer]

Like heck, it does. Check yours now. I bet it's clogged.

[@TheTomahawkRepublic]

Lint Traps 🤔

[@kkw2219]

Will this drain not fast enough and get an overflow?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Works perfectly. Has way more flow than necessary, even when mildly clogged.

[@kkw2219]

@@JackofAllMasterofNoneThat's awesome! thank you !

[@dwaynes5983]

Machine water pumps are strong. Same belt as the drum spinning.

[@TheIggypop1]

Don’t need one use pantyhose over the pipe end

[@zachcooper1086]

Will it also catch long pubic hairs?
