Most people who have no experience with filtration think it can easily
separate clear liquid from murky gunk. It's not that easy. For a
filtration to proceed smoothly, the liquid you're filtering needs to look
like it doesn't really need filtration, otherwise it will quickly blind the
filter and you'll have a big mess on your hands.

To get to the point where filtration is viable, a combination of time and
possibly some fining agent(s) are necessary. By then, you may decide the
wine doesn't really need filtration, or if it does you may decide to commit
the several hundred dollars that a decent filtration setup will cost you.

Alternatively, you could rent one from a homebrew shop to see if you like
it.
