How to go about filtering water with lots of debris?

Hi y'all, hope everyone's having a blessed day.

Where we're at, our winters go down to -40C and due to reduced water access we need to do our best to maximally conserve our water.
We are looking to filter our shower, kitchen sink, and laundry water back into clean water. Not necessarily for drinking, but at least to reuse it for those functions again.

I am looking for recommendations on a product that would allows us to filter the coarse particulates, like food, dirt, etc. before we continue to filter the water down further...

Will a regular sediment filter do, and I just have to clean it frequently? Or should I look into pre filtering the water somehow?

Thank you so much in advance and God bless.

A good pre-filter would be a stainless steel hop filter. It's a big filter basket used in beer brewing. They can catch a LOT of junk before they get clogged and need cleaned.

Thanks a ton Matt, just looked it up on Amazon and exactly what I needed.
After I pass the water through the hop filter, is it safe to run it through a sediment filter? And do you know if sediment filters can work just by gravity, or do you think I would need to pump the water?

I just got a new 100-micron filter that fits over a standard 5-gallon bucket like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013KQNXP4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 for pre-filtering before a ceramic filter. I'm hoping it'll make the task easier, I used to pour the water through a fabric (felt-like) "filter bowl" into a bucket and I often missed or poured too fast.
First edit for the link. Second edit to say: I am filtering a bit of sediment from spring water, so grey water might not work with this setup.

Whatever you do, be careful with grey water that you plan to reuse. You can strain all the particles out if you want, but it still turns into black water in 24 hours (or less if it's warm), so you don't want to use it for anything that involves direct contact. Flushing toilets is a well-known and relatively safe way to use grey water in a household setting. Everything else gets complicated quickly if you're not using biological methods like reed beds, biofilters, and worm systems...and these are outdoor solutions for the most part, not something you can run in your house when it's -40 outside.

There really isn't much else you can do with it that doesn't involve treatment, and most code-approved systems for irrigation follow the principle of getting it into soil as quickly as possible. Even then, you really don't want it on or near root and leaf crops.
