Abstract
A fluid filtering device is provided for use with a fluid reservoir. The filtering device comprises a housing having an elongated tubular and cylindrical part defining an interior chamber. A fluid port is formed at one end of the housing and the port is open to the chamber. The housing is secured within the reservoir so that the housing is submerged below the reservoir fluid level. A fluid passageway is formed through the housing to establish fluid communication between the fluid in the reservoir and the housing chamber. An elongated guide member is also secured to the upper end of the tubular housing part so that the guide member extends upwardly from the housing. A filter assembly comprising a tubular filter element and a coaxial elongated extension is manually insertable over both the guide member and the tubular housing part whereupon the filter element is fluidly positioned between the housing chamber and the fluid in the reservoir.
