Dr. K. Yes, you can remove the debris screen from the fill valve inlet. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and carefully grip the filter on the "crossbar" and carefully twist and pull the filter out. Once out, use an old toothbrush to clear the screen under running water, and inside out. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to reinstall and seat the filter in the valve inlet. Don't forget to check and clean the screened washers in the end of the fill hose, and "flush " both faucets to clear any residual debris in the water lines.
