I have recently started using the EMWL system and am experimenting with how I can reduce or eliminate floating particles between the three different elements. I bought the Nauticam Filtering Sleeve and am not happy with this option, as floating particles still get inside, or it is so tightly bandaged that I can no longer properly operate the air bubbles by turning the wheel to release them. The Nauticam EMWL Water Jacket Set seems a bit expensive to me at around 650 euros... Apart from that, I also keep changing the front element underwater! I do a lot of muck diving from the beach and often there are a lot of particles in the water. Maybe someone has some practical tips or advice?

I recall seeing a few posts on this possibly on Wetpixel??? most seems to be some kind of sock that is strapped around the assembly.

On land the solution would be a blower bulb to blow particles away. If there was someway to attach a tube to the air release ring you could use a large syringe to push water through the opening, and you could presumably rig up a filter for the water. Without seeing the ring in person, it's hard to judge if this is feasible. If you could attach something like this ( a primer for outboard fuel supply) with a filter on the suction it might work:
