[QUOTE="david k., post: 2842742, member: 10555"] This may or may not work but my first thought would be to get a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and a piece of 1.5" or 2" pvc a few inches longer than the buckets height. Drill a hole in the center of the lid to just fit the pvc. Drill lots (dozens, the more the better) of 1/8" holes through both the pvc and the 5 gallon bucket. Stand the pvc straight up in the bucket and run a bead of caulk around the bottom to secure it and seal it off. Fill the bucket around the pvc tube with a bag of pea gravel from home depot. Put the lid on with the PVC sticking out the top. Drop your pickup tube into the PVC with some kind of filter...maybe panty hose?...secured to the end of the pick up tube. Set the bucket in the water. The weight will hold it steady, all the 1/8" holes will allow water into the bucket, the pea gravel and gravity will act as a preliminary filter and the panty hose (or whatever you think would be better) would be the final filter. Plus the hole thing wouldn't cost more than a few bucks to make. [/QUOTE]
