Will adding a filter make any deference?

Hello

I am thinking of getting a filter like this http://www.performance-pcs.com/accessories-misc/alphacool-water-filter-plexi.html and add it after the res before going to the pump so will it affect the efficiency of the loop and will it make the loop cleaner or its not necessary?

since i don't see anyone talking about filters so i wanted to have a good idea of it.

Thanks.

It looks like a waste of money to me. Just use distilled water, ptnuke, and a silver coil and there shouldn't be anything in the loop to clog it.

Idea with our loops is that everything is thoroughly cleaned/washed before it is assembled, therefore a filter becomes superfluous.

Agreed with the above statements, it seems to me that if you NEED a filter in a proper loop, you have something wrong to begin with.

You don't need a filter to the loop. I used one for a few years. It does add resistance to the loop but regardless, you truly don't need it as you should have a clean assembled loop to begin with.
