I am fortunate to work in a large aluminum company
the filter that can be seen on the photo is made out of 3 parts.
the conical part is in a tube the top can also be placed in the tube.
The nice thing about the whole thing is that water can be pumped through it
the tube is 300 mm long and 160 mm diameter but can be shortened.
I think the diameter is slightly larger 150mm might be better but I do not have a tube of that size,
the other pieces can be found in the appendix.
if these are correct I do not know but the whole gives a nice look
