Elongated fluid filtering assembly to prevent contamination from unwanted foreign matter and zebra mussels

摘要

An elongated fluid filtering assembly includes an elongated filter element housed within an elongated hollow tube. The filter and hollow tube are supported on an elevated frame by at least two resilient bushings. The resilient bushings allow easy maintenance of the filter. The hollow tube contains at least one transverse slit which allows fluid to enter the fluid chamber and contact the filter. The filter assembly is easily accessible and relatively inexpensive to maintain.
