Anyone ever heard of a coolant filter to filter out the particles that lead to blockage? I've seen a couple options and researched it but not sure if it is really a great thing.

FL22 Mazda coolant has a long life (approx. 5 years) and I am concerned about deposits that could clog the radiator. Here are some of the options below.
