coolant filter?? Is this true

I could have sworn in one of the many coolant/water pump threads someone wrote about a coolant filter. Never heard of this. Does the cooling system have some kind of filter I don't know about?

Never heard of one and I certainly did not replace one on my last coolant/water pump/thermostat service.

Garage
Sounds like something from the parts list that includes tail light fluid and muffler bearings.

Probably what you are referring to:
It's for hydraulic fluids, e.g. brake fluid.
WIX 24070 Coolant Filter
Available on Amazon.

There is no filter in the cooling system.
