One thing to consider anytime you place a filter or screen in any fluid flow
line where you might expect contamination (otherwise why put the filter) is
that should the filter become clogged - then all fluid flow ceases.  Not to
say a filter/screen should not be used, however, its my opinion that the
source of the clogging elements should be determined forthwith otherwise the
condition will simply return.

I have not had any problems with clogging or scale etc.  I use Preston
Antifreeze and Distilled water when I fill the coolant system.
I am fairly certain that neither has Tracy with over 1600 hours - so it
clearly does not happen as a matter of course.  Some tap water (Particularly
in the western part of the country) has a high gypsum? and other scale
producing mineral content.

I took out the thermostat to preclude interference with coolant flow and
perhaps that may contribute to more constant flow and perhaps less
opportunity for scale to build up?  Just a thought.
