The suction intake has a very fine grate over it. It looks like a spa drain intake with all the tiny holes in it. The builder put it on so nothing would get sucked into the pump. There is also the filter screen in the pressure cleaner fitting. I don't think it would be too much of a problem. I guess only time will tell. Thanks for the input. It's what I was thinking but it's nice to have confirmation!
