You can do that with the non-rotary nozzles but the rotary nozzles will eventually clog and there is no way to fix them. Eventually the smaller spray heads will get grit and sand in them and you may be able to clean those. If you have any of those fine spray heads for your shrubs or flowers, forget it. They will clog first. The problem is the water quality varies depending on where you live and the time of year.

So, if you don't have a problem then you are good and there is nothing to do. If you are constantly cleaning the heads then consider getting a main filter.
