Has anyone ever tried to filter out the rust particles that form? I was thinking of taking a piece of 2 inch pvc pipe; stuffing it full of cotten; placing the pip inline with my water pump and pumping the electrolyte solution through before it enters my small radiator. I am pretty sure it would work, but not sure if it would effect the reaction of the generator.

Hmmm cotton in pipe may block the pipe when it gets a bit saturated and create a backpressure. Maybe try it with an inline petrol filter first, or, as you say make a filter with 2" pipe but use a fine mesh SS coffee filter. Remember to check it regularly as you dont want to burn out your pump motor! All the best.

what's the status on the filtration? All the best to you and yours.

I realized my rust was coming from the non stainless steel componets in my rig. No need to filter now
