The present invention discloses a filter assembly for use in sanitary fittings such as faucets, bath and shower valves, flush valves and equivalents thereof. A debris cup is releasably attached to a cap so as to retain a filter means thereby. The debris cup and cap 10 are connected by one of a threaded connection, friction fit, snap-tight engagement or any combination thereof. The filter means includes a cylindrical screen member with a plurality of apertures defined through an outer circumferential surface thereof. The outer filter means surface, together with an internal circumferential surface of the debris cup, defines a debris reservoir that captures and isolates effluents therein. The debris cup, cap 15 and filter means are manufactured and installed as an integral unit that is singularly removable from a sanitary housing, thereby removing all of the debris collected in the debris reservoir without negatively affecting the water delivery line in fluid communication with the sanitary fitting.
