We have about 40 year old septic field which is working fine, but laundry washing lint has been a concern for quite some time, however I did not want to install a septic outlet filter because accessing it outside say every 2 - 3 months is something I am trying to avoid!
Installing this type of 100 micron filter was an alternative I had been contemplating, but delaying mainly due to not really having a place where this setup could be hidden out of sight, but finally decided to de best I could figure out & install it.
It's installed in that spot so it could be screwed directly into a wall stud while it still clears the adjacent cabinet door - It could be elevated more if moved further to right, but trying to avoid that.
The bottom outlet pipe is pretty close to top of the washer so I decided to improvise & custom-make a 90 degree turn on it which is against the instructions - otherwise the drain hose would be rubbing against the machine top.
So far so good, after couple of loads of laundry.
I will post updates later.
