How about a lint filter made for that purpose, I can get packs of 2 of them for a few bucks at any grocery store. They're a cylinder of coarse netting with ine closed end that you fasten to the end of the hose with a cable tie. I understand keeping lint out of the sewer systems can also reduce clogging. My first filter has lasted 6 months and still isn't full.
You just toss the filter in the trash when it starts to impeed the drain flow. Tom Fowle
