I and many of my neighbors installed an Irrigation filter which filters out most of the sediment from the re-claimed water so we only have to clean one filter instead of 30 for example. Once these rotator heads get grit in them, they need to be replaced. Your Irrigation company or whomever you use to maintain your system will never recommend this becasue they rely on the constant maintenance work you will pay them for yearly.
I used the following handi-man to install mine. Highly recommended and very fair prices. If you are considering an Irrigation filter you may want to give Chuck a call. You will recover the cost of the Irrigation filter probably in a year or two at the most.

My husband the retired plumber installed one on our system for that reason. Too many individual heads that were getting clogged. He has since done two others for neighbors.
