Abstract
An inlet filter includes a cap and a body that are securely connectable to one another. Once connected, these elements form the structural backbone of the filter. Disposed between the cap and body is a transparent cover that allows one to view a filtering screen located within. Thus, the inlet filter serves to remove particulate matter from a supply of water prior to supplying it to a high pressure sprayer or similar device. As the filtering screen becomes clogged, its status can be visually determined. Thus a clear and readily apparent indication is presented as to when the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
