Ya know I do find a good bit of dirt particles in it when I clean out the leafs & junk.
 I was actually kicking around the thought of using the HVAC filter material that you can buy in the HDW store/ Home Depot. It looks like fiberglass matt as the fibers are randomly oriented...it's plastic fibers not fiberglass. Usually the stuff is used in air handlers at the "exhanger" location as a particulate filter. There is very little or no resistance to flow across this material. I just can't figure a way to make it easily changed out.

Thats a good idea Tom but in AZ I dont think we could get away with that one we need lots and lots of air flow. However you just made me think of something done long ago and might be an easier material to get a hold of.
Another idea the old sand rail dune buggy crowd was to place panty hose (Nylons) over their air filters to keep the fine sand and grit out. Military used this in DS/DS in th 90s as well.
