Coolant Filter
I wanted to ask if anyone here uses a coolant filter?
I have seen the Gano brand filters that is in sizes for heater hoses up to radiator hoses. I also found one on ebay while back that I can find anymore that had a clean out lid and a tray to lift the debris out.
I did a internet search and found this and wanted to ask what people think of this

I know I have a problem with rust and I can flush my system and in a few weeks the green coolant is brownish in color and I have been thinking of installing one of theses filters in my heater line since I do not have a hot water valve. I also figured it would benefit me if I decide to add vinegar to my cooling system this Friday when I change my thermostat as it would allow me to catch the particles and see when its time to clean the system out again.
If anyone has used the filter linked above I would like to hear more about it, it seems that it restricts the flow of coolant some and I am some what concerned about that. I saw they don't recommend it on dual heat vehicles as it wouldn't allow enough flow for the rear heater. My '82 doesn't have rear heat but I also don't want to restrict my heater flow as well.
