The water filter does not need to be "in series
with" the entire flow path. You can take just a
small amount of the water via a detour and run
that through a small filter. The object is to
eventually run all the water through the filter
where stuff is trapped. Perhaps every tenth
pass through the system a given little bit of
water will run through the filter and get cleaned.
I learned this while working on *big* shortwave
rigs.
Eventually that filter will have to get flushed or
otherwise cleaned in some manner as K2LB
said.
