The filter referred to above is designed to take up to 35psi from a pressure supply. Maximum suction available (to keep it in PSI) would be –14psi. and flow will be seriously restricted long before the vacuum gets anywhere near there.

The pressure supply and flow, on the other hand, will continue unabated until the pressure rises above 35psi and the filter element collapses. What this means in practice is that the filter will last up to twice as long.

Not a good idea! It would likely give problems bleeding.
