Sure...that will work, until it doesn't. You will probably be OK running the fan-type heads without a filter. But, the rotor heads are another story. Those rotators have many moving parts inside, and accumulating silt and sludge will eventually cause them to stop rotating. The rotor heads are not really user serviceable, and when they quit working they must be replaced to the tune of about eight bucks apiece. I have over 40 of those rotor heads on my lot, and it is much easier to run an inline filter to keep 'em clean.
