Default Coolant filter?

Has anyone heard of a coolant filter?

I have a problem with slug cloggin up my heater core. Lately I have been successful in flush it out and it works for a fews day and than it clogs up again.

I would like to install some kind of in-lineonthe inlet hose to trap any debri or slug.

Thanks

Have you tried to flush the entire system? Use a good coolant system cleaner with a flush and fill, can be found at any parts store. I would do this, and it you have done it before, do it again. Get all the crap out of there. Korey.

Flush the entire system and backflush the heater core, a filter wont work, itll clog fast, I heard 1st gens are notorious for coolant sludge. I did the flush and backflush and the heater blows hot now, before it was warmer air but maybe 70 degrees not 100+
