Fluid filter apparatus

A fluid filter apparatus for helping to purify a fluid, comprising:

• (a) a first surrounding sidewall including a first end portion and an opposing second end portion,
• (b) a second surrounding sidewall including a primary end portion and an opposing secondary end portion, wherein said second surrounding sidewall is substantially co-axially disposed within said first surrounding sidewall, with said secondary end portion of said second surrounding sidewall being adjacent to said first end portion of said first surrounding sidewall;
• (c) a third surrounding sidewall including a third end portion and an opposing fourth end portion, wherein said third surrounding sidewall is co-incident to said first surrounding sidewall forming an outer annulus as between said first and third surrounding sidewalls, wherein said third end portion of said third surrounding sidewall is adjacent to said secondary end portion of said second surrounding sidewall;
• (d) a fourth surrounding sidewall including a fifth end portion and an opposing sixth end portion, said second surrounding sidewall is co-incident with said fourth surrounding sidewall forming a first environmental interior as between said second and fourth surrounding sidewalls, wherein said fifth end portion of said fourth surrounding sidewall is adjacent to said third end portion of said third surrounding sidewall, wherein a fluid communication is between said outer annulus and said first environmental interior;
• (e) a domed end is adjacent to said sixth end portion of said fourth surrounding sidewall, said domed end forming a fourth environmental interior, wherein said fourth environmental interior is in fluid communication with said first environmental interior;
• (f) a second environmental interior is defined as being disposed within said second surrounding sidewall;
• (g) a third environmental interior is defined as being disposed within said first surrounding sidewall;
• (h) a ported head body that includes a pair of opposing inlet apertures, a pair of opposing outlet apertures, an inlet chamber in fluid communication with said pair of inlet apertures, an outlet chamber in fluid communication with said pair of outlet apertures, a standpipe in fluid communication with said outlet chamber, and a diversion plate that blocks fluid communication as between said inlet and outlet chambers, wherein said second end portion of said first surrounding sidewall is adjacent to said port head body and said fourth end portion of said third surrounding sidewall is adjacent to said port head body such that a fluid communication exists as between said inlet chamber and said outer annulus, and a fluid communication exists as between said outlet chamber and said third environmental interior;
• and
• (i) a filter media disposed within said third environmental interior, wherein operationally a dirty fluid enters therethrough said inlet aperture to said inlet chamber into said outer annulus and communicates onward to said first environmental interior therethrough to said fourth environmental interior communicating onward to said second environmental interior, the fluid further communicating into said third environmental interior, and further the fluid communicates therethrough said filter media and onward to said outlet chamber to said outlet aperture.
