I made a pre-filtration barrel to pump out of. Cut about a third of the top of plastic barrel off. Something like you use for the docks, a sturdy kind of plastic. Drill a bunch of 1/2" holes in it all over. Throw that in the water(rope attached can be handy at times) and set the hose with screen inside that. You'll be amazed at how much less you need to clean the hose end.
