Great. I'm never drinking chocolate milk again.
I was being considerate while describing swamp smelling, debris and feces laden waste water. I used to find snails, worms, leeches, and juvenile fish while flushing the filter.
OP - If you could somehow design a gravity fed filter, then fish waste and particulates will not be churned into oblivion. Waste will be collected intact with less chance of getting dissolved into the water column.
