I would think something with a fine stainless steel mesh screen would be the best first filter. That way you can clean it instead of replacing. Might look at websites that carry irrigation supplies. https://www.dripdepot.com/irrigation-supplies-filtration-filters

I’ve looked at several filter units with replaceable (or cleanable) SS Steel screen elements, but, the surface area of the screen is not all that large.

So... I was actually thinking of using one of my remaining polyprop filters as a “base” to wrap exactly that, fine SS Steel screen, around.

That SKU: 1255 @ your link looks really good for the hose out to my garden, for misting. The mist element constantly gets clogged up. However, the description of the #1255 says: “This filter is not designed for constant pressure...” Maybe “constant pressure” deforms the gaskets due to no time for “recovery” of the gasket material?
