Claim Text:
1. A fluid valve with integrated fluid filter, comprising: a fluid flow control valve, comprising: a quiescent zone fluid filter contained within said inner valve housing, said quiescent zone fluid filter comprising: wherein when a liquid flows into said inlet port through said fluid flow tube and out said outlet port, said downstream communication port is disposed in downstream relation with respect to said upstream communication port; wherein a portion of the liquid flow passes through said upstream communication port into said reservoir; wherein the portion of the liquid flow that passed through said upstream communication port moves in said reservoir from said upstream communication port to said downstream communication port as a sluggish liquid flow such that any particles therein descend in said reservoir, whereupon the portion of the liquid that passed through said upstream communication port enters the fluid flow tube via said downstream communication port substantially free of the particles; and wherein with said quiescent zone filter fully seated with respect to said outer valve housing, rotation of said inner valve housing with respect to said outer valve housing selectively regulates the liquid flow from said inlet port to said outlet port ranging between a fully open state of liquid flow and a fully closed state of liquid flow.
