I don't know what type of weeds you have up there but the only scoop that will prevent S W Florida weeds from entering is the Groco perforated hull strainer with access door. Go to page 3 on that link you posted. Inline strainers clog to quickly. Slotted strainers allow too many smaller weeds to enter the pump, wrap around the impeller, slow it down and burn it up. We have large die offs in the summer when they let fresh water out of Lake O that produce huge floating mats that are impossible to avoid.

To bad we don't have the square grouper floating around like we used to...
