Laundry recirculation and filtration system

A method for dynamically filtering a wash mixture of a washing machine, the method comprising:

• providing at least one textile to the washing machine;
• separating a plurality of contaminants from the at least one textile during a washing operation of the washing machine, wherein, upon separation of the plurality of contaminants from the at least one textile, the plurality of contaminants are received in the wash mixture to form a contaminated wash mixture;
• extracting at least part of the contaminated wash mixture to an extraction system in communication with the washing machine;
• and
• filtering the at least part of the contaminated wash mixture in at least one filtration stage of the extraction system to attract at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant of the plurality of contaminants using at least one magnet;
• filtering the at least part of the contaminated wash mixture in at least one additional filtration stage of the extraction system to remove at least one additional contaminant of the plurality of contaminants;
• wherein the at least one filtration stage has at least one filtration medium that is configured to remove containments having a first size, and the at least one additional filtration stage has at least one filtration medium that is configured to remove containments having a second size, and wherein the first size is larger than the second size;
• wherein the at least one filtration stage, the at least one additional filtration stage, or the at least one magnet at least partially form a filtered wash mixture;
• dynamically directing the filtered wash mixture into the washing machine.

A method of operating a laundry system, comprising:

• providing a wash mixture and at least one laundry item to a washing machine of the laundry system;
• washing the at least one laundry item in the wash mixture in the washing machine during a wash operation to separate at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant from the at least one laundry item, wherein, after the at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant is separated from the at least one laundry item, the at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant is received in the wash mixture to form a contaminated wash mixture in the washing machine;
• extracting the contaminated wash mixture with the at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant dynamically during the wash operation to an extraction system;
• and
• filtering the contaminated wash mixture with the at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant through a filtration stage, wherein the filtration stage includes one or more magnets that attract and retain the at least one metallic or magnetic contaminant from the wash mixture to form a filtered wash mixture.
