Abstract
A filter housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, an impeller positioned inside the filter housing magnetically coupled to a rotating magnetic field created by the magnetic disc when rotated by the motor, wherein rotation of the magnetic disc rotates the impeller which draws the solution through the inlet of the filter housing and push the solution out a first filter and out the outlet of the filter housing.

A magnetic barrel tumbler comprising:
- a motor;
- a magnetic disc attached to the motor;
- a plate positioned above the magnetic disc;
- a tub positioned on top of the plate for receiving a solution, magnetic particles, and work pieces;
- and
- a filter assembly positionable in the tub comprising:
- a filter housing comprising an inlet and an outlet;
- an impeller positioned inside the filter housing, wherein the impeller comprises a solid piece of material with an outer diameter, a concentric through hole, bores cylindrically spaced around a perimeter of the solid piece of material, and a plurality of slits extending from the outer diameter of the impeller to the concentric through hole;
- a plurality of magnets each of which is positioned in one of the bores in the impeller combined to the impeller that magnetically couple the impeller to a rotating magnetic field created by the magnetic disc when rotated by the motor, wherein rotation of the magnetic disc rotates the impeller which draws the solution through the inlet of the filter housing and pushes the solution out a first filter and out the outlet of the filter housing.
