I have a water intake on my model boat, 5mm internal diameter. Can anyone tell me where I can get a filter to put on the end to stop debris entering the pump. Thanks

I use a fuel filter on the intake side.

Thanks for that. Ideal as I will be able to fit it inside the boat instead of having it look ugly on the outside.

I used this pump, as it has a suction of 1M, so eliminating the pump dry running when started up. No non return valve required.

Impressive, and even free postage to the UK.
Thank you
