Of course there are the old Vortex diatom filters that use a Ball canning
jar and sits on a narrow round base so that it often falls over on its

good a job as these, but was designed for easier use. >>
If your only problem is the Vortex's clumsiness, ands tendancy to fall over,
get a wide pane of 1/4 inch glass, or a piece of plexi, and glue it to the
bottom of the jar with silicone. IMHO, it is still the simplest polishing
filter around
