Right, most people think, well I'll just replace the head when it goes bad but in reality once they remove the filter, they find they are replacing a lot of heads over time that they would not have had to do.

I think a main irrigation filter is the answer. Since I've installed one years ago, never had any problems with the spray heads. Especially the small ones spraying my flower bed. I make a couple of adjustments periodically if I see something not right but that's about it.
