Coolent Filter

Ok now that i did my heater core ive decided to add a coolent filter since i have an entirely new cooling system. whats the best way to plumb it. put in series through a heater hose, or put in bypass between both heater hoses?

A normal coolant filter is designed to be put in parallel with the heater core. It has a very small orifice in it to restrict the flow through it.

If you use a regular filter, I would put it in series with the heater so you know when it is plugged bty the loss of heat.
