Cathar,

Would you say that using one of these strainers for a period of time would allow the rad and any other "dirty" components to eventually shed their unwanted material into the loop, and eventually you could remove the strainer from the loop as it would be considered "clean"? Or are these strainers more of a permanent addition to the loop?

I personally can't think of any way to remove it from the loop without contaiminating the loop to begin with.

Aisde note... should one boil their copper heatercore before introducing it to a loop to avoid any unwanted material floating around, clogging up your pump and blocks? Is there a good method of "cleaning" unwanted material out of the rad/blocks/pump?
