That's a big filter

I bought mine from China, $3.00 US each MattMill Lauter Helix from Germany is the closest to you, there should be someone in the UK selling them. It has to be so big because of the higher viscosity of the cooled wort, a small 1 meter one will not work unless you are no chilling then there is nothing better.
Nice one. If I go back to using my immersion cooler (I'm doing no chill at the mo) then I'll have a look at these 
Quick update, my last brew with the modded filter went well, it worked a treat. Lots of lovely clear wort, and I was able to pump the whole lot from kettle to chill cube without any blockages.

My robobrew pump blocked today. I think it was a combination of to fine crushed grain - bought crashed - and added loose pellets hops. Hops first time without the spider. So far tried blowing, water from the hose and diamond with oxi. Will try again tomorrow. Will use muslim bag next time for hops. It is maybe a sign I need my own grain crusher
I bought this, which you put at the hole at the bottom where pump sucks - https://www.angelhomebrew.co.uk/en/brewdevil-accessories/318-brew-devil-hop-filter.html
I believe it will prevent clogging with crushed grain.
p.s. I am with BrewMonok Magnus and that filter fits perfectly.

When I read my instructions for the Guten range of SVB's it states the pump not to be run during the boil, I checked with the manufacturer of the pump and they are rated to 80 C. Even so I would never run it during the boil. odd bits of grain should go through the pump easily and get dumped on the top of the grain bed (I don't use the top screen) same goes for the flour from the grist. In a perfect world if you could mill the grain to flour and keep the husks intact you would end up with a better efficiency, but it doesn't work like that.
If you want to whirlpool through the pump, take the advice above of putting the hop pellets in a bag. The downside of the small filter over the intake of the pump is if you do get grain missing the grain basket then those pieces of grain stay in the boil.

They're really small, and the one that came with my hopcat clogged up. I made another larger one with a FF right angle, a barbed reducer and a 6" filter.

I managed to unblock it, just with bit of a wire. There were some grains stuck there. But I think I will use rice hulks or similar next time. Mass was bit thick
Well, I already bought it:) I will try my next brew with it:) If it clogs I will try to do same thing as you did:) Thanks for the idea and the picture!
@HarryFlatters what is the barb size? 8mm or 10mm?
I found these on eBay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Brass...-Hose-Tail-Pipe-Air-Gas-Fittings/223040226598
Would you point which one is the correct - fitting: female, BSP thread size 1/2, but what about hose internal diameter - 8 ор 10мм?
Thanks!
I'm sure it was 10mm, my eBay order history doesn't make it particularly clear.
