SS is especially prone to corrosion if left in contact with water. Unlike normal steel, it does not react with water in the air but if continuous left in contact with water, it will corrode.
That's why there is some truth in drying your utensils. It keeps them rust free. Maintains hardness of SS knives as well.
Salt is another culprit. SS corrodes rapidly in salty environment. I stay in Pasir Ris. My leatherman rusts, my WMF knives rust, that's why have to make sure they are all dried before putting away.
So in short, I am not surprised the filter rusts.

Necessary evil....
Needs to be washed to remove dirt to prevent blockage. You will also be surprised how corrosive dirt can be. I used to work in company who services aircraft heat exchangers. The units can last 20,000 hours or more with regular cleaning but without the cleaning, it will need to be replaced at about 10-12,000 hours because of leaks caused by corrosion.
However, I call it a necessary evil becuase if it is not dried properly after cleaning, then will cause corrosion also.
