See what suppliers of domestic water treatment systems offer in the way of parts and components.
These systems do things to well water like remove iron and make hard water soft and many others. My neighbor
has such a business; I'll go over there and see what he has in his shop. These would be drinking
water safe and probably made of high grade poly, nylon or vinyl, maybe neprene. Maybe he has a basket-like
container that you could perforate with hole size and pattern to meet your specs.
