In some implementations, a screen assembly may include at least one plate member having at least one opening; a screen, that is fluid permeable, disposed on the at least one plate member to expose the screen via the at least one opening; an aperture through the at least one plate member and the screen to receive an axle shaft; a notch extending inwardly from an outer edge of the screen assembly to provide a passage for a fluid conduit; and at least one magnet disposed on the at least one plate member.

A conduit connection system may have a first coupling connected to a first conduit. The first coupling may have a first undercut. The conduit connection system may also have a second coupling connected to a second conduit. The second coupling may have a second undercut. The conduit connection system may have a clamp. The clamp may have a first projection. The first projection may be configured to be received in the first undercut. The clamp may have a second projection. The second projection may be configured to be received in the second undercut. The conduit connection system may also include a connector. The connector may be configured to engage with the clamp to connect the first coupling and the second coupling.
