Well, I already shared it on a long-dead thread, but this is how I made my swirl filter:

It definitely removes a LOT of debris and particulate from my water, but I really don't know how much. Currently, it's my pre-filter for my Total Pond bio-filter/UV sterilizer, which does give me crystal-clear water.
That said, are there any math/engineering geeks here that can help optimize efficiency? I'm looking to modify and/or replace the filter, but would like to figure out how to do it "right", not just functional.
