Should I add a Wye filter to my radiator system while I have the chance?

Part of my system is valved off with 1 inch galvanized pipe, to go to pex.
I considered adding some treatment chemicals in the spring but was warned that lots of crap may come lose. I have to drain my system this summer.
Should I add a filter and what kind and pore size?
