This installation diagram from Vetus on their water strainer
specifically shows that the strainer be at least 15cm / 6" ABOVE the

Probably because their strainer has a plastic top (polycarbonate)

The removable glass cyclinders don't look much less seaworthy.
If you want a really proper one, get one which is all bronze, like this:
