Randy,
There's no need to "change it". Rather, unscrew the plastic bowl, remove the stainless steel screen, run it under water to clean it, then reinstall and make sure the red O-ring is in the groove at the top of the clear plastic bowl. Screw it hand tight, don't overtighten, and check for leaks when you run water.
The strainer is not a "filter" rather it is a "strainer" intended to catch sawdust, sand, bits of the fresh water tank that might have been left inside the tank when it was assembled and installed. There is no pressure on it, so it does not have to be tight, just "snug". If it is installed snugly, the only way it would leak is if the one way valve on the pump fails and city water pressure backflows through the pump and into the fresh water tank.
It's a good ideal to just shine a flash light on it occasionally to make sure it's not clogged with sand, otherwise, just clean the screen at the beginning of each camping season. Don't forget to make sure it's empty when you winterize.
