The Army and I'm sure others have used similar screens for years.  For
example, the long flexible spout used on 5 gallon gas cans has one that
screws into the end.  The screens are shaped conically, to present the
greatest possible surface area.

It should work AS LONG AS you remember to check 'em out and clean 'em
regularly:  right away after the rebuild, and on an increasing frequency
after that.  Otherwise, do the valve seat replacement again!

If this were being designed robustly, you would sense pressure on both
sides of the screen and flash an alert if the differential pressure was
outside some expected value.
