How to draw solution through a system

JohnBee - 30-5-2015 at 07:55

To date, I've been transferring all of my solutions from my reaction flask into a condenser for cooling and filtration by hand.
That said, in pursuit of improvements or in this case, automation, I've been wondering what methods exist (if any) that would allow me to draw the solution(105c) from the reaction vessel through the filtration system internally?

I've contemplated this in the past, but couldn't see any way from which to mate the filtration apparatus' (which is made entirely of glass) to the remainder of the system as it is the open top variant. Which I simply accepted as collateral damage, as air exposure works against me.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Vacuum manifold looks like a solution.
Any cost effective alternatives?
Looks like a four(4) port would do the trick in my case.
