Diy hydroponic filter ideas

Ok so I'm currently running RDWC and I recently upgraded the water pump to get more circulation. The pump I ordered is very powerful but cheap as it doesn't have no filter at all. I looked around my house and finally I took a 5 gallon fabric pot and placed the pump inside the pot. I then wire tied top to help seal it up. Do you guys think this will work until I buy a filter box or a inline filter for my system? Does anyone have better ideas that don't involve spending $? I just did this today in hopes of pump longevity I mean it's a $13 amazon special lol but I have a couple extra pumps incase it dies of course the seller also offers a 3 year warranty so I figure why not

Ah ok thanks I am slow at times haha....the fuel filter idea did cross my mind. My concern is most of my lines are 1/2" and 3/4" wouldn't the .25in restrict the flow rate?

The felt pot is a good idea it should work fine as a particle filter much like any other.
If it's sealed from debris and doesn't affect the flow rate I wouldn't be in a hurry to change it.
