Even parts of valves that are wearing. Nothing stops us from needing to do occasional maintenance, and just good ol' walk arounds looking at every head on every zone.
The irrigation filter I was referring to goes in-line before the valve box. Depending on your non-potable irrigation water you typically have to clean the one in-line filter once a month.
