Low profile strainer for Ecotech Vectra

For those of you using a Vectra for a return pump, what are you using for the inlet side of the pump to prevent debri from gettin sucked into the pump? I bought the ecotech strainer but it’s not low profile at all and the pump won’t fit in the return chamber with it attached. Anything low profile?

Yeah, I figured a lot of people don’t. But it looks like if anything were to get sucked in there it would do some damage...

I bought this one. It’s nice and space saving. It did take about a month to come in from Russia.
