I forgot to mention they are available at Lowe's, Home Depot
or local hardware stores.

Once again my wash machine is down due to a clogged screen
on the cold
water line.

1. Is there some way to pull that screen out of the
fitting (it is on
the machine this time, not in the hose) to clean it?

2. What would be the results if I just yanked it and left
it out?
Damage to the water valve?

The material that plugs it is from my well, extremely fine
sand that
just barely doesn't pass through that fine screen. Takes
about year or
two before it builds up enough to need cleaning.
