Does anyone use a filter between there tank and pump??

I looked in my tank today and noticed a few bits in the bottom nothing major though.

Just wondered if you can buy inline filters to go in between the tank and pump to stop any bits being drawn into the pump and possibly causing a blockage??

Many Thanks
