Looks decent enough, but if you make sure your system is clean before you put water in it, you dont really need to worry about it. running it for a while without a waterblock will usually rid the system of any crap. Most of the stuff originates in the radiator anyways and all new ones should be washed prior to installation.

Whast the best fluid to flush the radiators out with?

Thinking of getting tow pro cores and if they are like the past dtek version they are loaded with debris. So i figure putting one of these inline after cleaning the radiator would insure i get everything out. After a while i might remove it.

If your pump comes with a prefilter (a spongly black thing) you can just put it in a bucket and let it run for a few days. you can also dump some pine sol in there. Be sure to switch flow direction a few times as well.

You will notice the stuff that comes off looks like black sand or something, not good for any waterblock.

yah i have a eheim 1048 and 1250 both come with a blue foam filter thingy, looks like sand can pass through easy though.

If you mount the pump high enough in the bucket, the sand should sink to the bottom.
