I have went round and round trying to find the most economical, highest performing, lowest maintenance canister filter for my money. I almost bought a Hot Magnum but no filter seemed worth the dough. So I made my own. Shown below:

All you need is a decent inline pump or submersible; however it best suits your system. When the sediment filter becomes expired, cut away the filter material and you will be left with a plastic core. Simply wrap polyfill sheet or felt around the core and SHAZAM?..a DIY filter element. I like to use kite string to bind the material to the core.
I guarantee this filter will out perform any other prefab filter in cost, performance, and reliability.
