What is "a lot of heads" and over what time? I'm at eight years and I think I've replaced three heads. Even then, one was hit by a mower so a filter would not have helped at all.

I can't emphasize enough: YMMV. Those who irrigate with potable water likely have fewer problems. I have irrigation water that must be pretty clean. A lot of the problems mentioned in other threads were from those south of 44.
