It seems that he's looking for a poor-man's one of these :
Not one of those sources suggests that using your septic tank to fertilize your garden would be safe or advised. They are talking about proper processed sewage prepared with care.
Yes. It could require blocking part of the pool suction water to the pump to get more water sucking through your "vacuum". 2 simple valves on the pump intake pipe could be used to change the mix of water being drawn through each pipe. An additional valve on the pump outlet to the vacuum line could be used to prime that line from the pump end before switching it to vacuum mode, so you don't suck much air through the pump.
I have never actually used one of those devices, but have built and maintained 2 successive hot tubs for 4 decades. I have also installed and operated a shallow well and pump for years for garden watering.
You will NOT want a home drinking water type of filter. They are designed to filter very fine particles, and chemicals from the water, and the filters are expensive, plus, there is no way they will handle the volume of water you are talking about. A pool type pleated filter would work, but there could be others that would work for only larger particles, and not plug up so fast catching leaves and other larger stuff.
You could try making a large cloth "vacuum bag" that just connects to the water output pipe from a pump, and floats in the water catching the large stuff and releasing the water.
You can use PVC pipe fittings to adapt any filter to any size of filter ports. You might need to find a good plumbing store to find the most appropriate of the ones you might need.
As kamalonomics turns us into a third world country, we'll all be growing food in a backyard garden in an attempt to survive. I suspect the family outhouse is less toxic than Democrat Fauci's gain-of-function lab leaks.
Or you can use Milwaukee's finest sewage sludge. "
"Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began, 51 million jobs have been created in America. 49 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic presidents," Rosenberg wrote in the March 8 post. "Essentially all of them. Over 35 years."
