I don’t have the inline filter but I had thought about getting one. Our system is a new build in the Hammock at Fenney.
When I checked the filters earlier this year (after about 2 yrs in service) they were pretty bad. So I cleaned them all and reinstalled.
Your post prompted me into checking my “heads/filters”just now.
As you can see from the attached photo (8 months after the initial clean) they do have some “muck” on them, but nothing gritty or sandy that would prevent water flow.
So with that said, I personally don’t feel that I need one.
Will it hurt to get one, probably not. Your situation might be different. I’d recommend cleaning yours, reinstalling them, and then checking them in a few months. If you have a lot of gritty stuff in them, then get a filter.
