A filter arrangement for use with a vessel that receives fluid includes a body engageable with the vessel. The body has an inlet port, an outlet port, a body cavity, a first fluid path disposed between the inlet port and body cavity, and a second fluid path disposed between the body cavity and the outlet port. A filter is disposed at least partially in the body cavity, and includes a filter cavity and filter media for filtering the fluid. A valve is associated with the body for allowing the fluid to flow into and out of the vessel. When the fluid flows into the vessel, the fluid flows through the filter cavity and along the first fluid path without flowing through the filter media. When the fluid flows out of the vessel, the fluid flows along the first fluid path, through the filter media and along the second fluid path.

1. A filter arrangement for use with a vessel configured to receive and discharge fluid through the same opening, the arrangement comprising:a body engageable with the vessel and having a body cavity, a first inlet port in fluid communication with the vessel, a first fluid path disposed between the first inlet port and the body cavity, a second inlet port in fluid communication with the body cavity for receiving fluid from a fluid source, an outlet port, and a second fluid path disposed between the body cavity and the outlet port; and a filter, having filter media, positioned in the body cavity so that the second fluid path is connected to the first fluid path through the filter media and so that fluid communication of the first fluid path with the second inlet port through the body cavity is unimpeded by the filter media, wherein when the fluid flows from the fluid source into the vessel, the fluid flows along the first fluid path without flowing through the filter media, and when the fluid flows through the outlet port and out of the vessel, the fluid flows through the filter media.
