what is the micron rating of brita?

Hi Linda Google brita micron rating to get this answer. There is a wealth of information on this and other facts about the brita. There are arguments for and against it. It makes our local tap water palatable which is mainly why I use it. As a Brit I mainly boil it to make tea. Tea made with unfiltered water is unpleasant to say the least. Good luck with your research.

If it is really 15 microns then this is not even close to the ability of the lifestraw at .2 microns or other sub micron filter. There is a lot of stuff that can get through 15 microns. If you didn't get sick that just means the water wasn't biologically contaminated with something bad for you in the first place.

There is no such term applicable for this product. It is not a cotton but engineered kind of fabric. So micron size would be 0.

Hi Mary. I really don't know but here's a phone no. for U. 1 800 24 BRITA. 9 to 5, EST. Good luck. Regarding taste, I don't discern any difference. Good Luck.

All I know about these filter specs is this: Micron rating (nominal): 5Contaminant removal: chlorine, sand, sediment, rust, soil, and silt.The GE FXWTC replaces models fit these water systems: GXWH01C, GXWH04F, GXWH08C, and GXWH20FI hope this helps.

I got the New Life Spectrum betta formula, 60g 11 to 12 oz. and my betta(s) do like it. It does not turn the water and is easier to clean than the flakes, I think anyway. Hope that helps.

It depends on the filtration level you are looking for. The smaller the micron number the cleaner the water will be. The tradeoff is if your water has more sediment then the filter will clog up faster. Or if you only need to remove sediment then perhaps the larger micron filter will do. I use a 1 micron filter since I want to remove as much as possible.

The main rating system for shower filters is Free Chlorine reduction, tested to NSF/ANSi standard No. 177. The filters have a stainless steel screen, with a micron rating of 50.

I do not know and it's not like most pitchers..it looks like the others and it's not comparable with the Brita I own. I still have em in my drawer

If you're planning on taking a boron supplement for a performance boost at the gym, don't bother. It is useless for that purpose.Serving size: 2 capsuleAmount per servingVit d: 200IUCalcium: 500mgMagnesium: 250mgZinc: 7.5mgCopper: 250mcg (I think this is supposed to mean 250 micrograms, but they use this asinine "mcg" abbreviation)Manganese: 2.5mgBoron: 1.5mg (as citrate, glycinate, aspartate)

It depends on where you are. I live in Mexico and the water in Chihuahua city for example is perfectly safe to drink, it is monitored and is actually cleaner than the bottled waters sold by Coca Cola and other companies. The only problem is the chlorine taste so a brita filter works just fine.

CFM (cubic feet per minute) determines the size system the pump can handle. Micron rating determins pump pressure. 15 psi is aproximately one atmosphere of pressure or 29.926 inches HG (mercury) and 760,000 microns. The lower the Micron rating, the quicker the pump is.

Hi I don't know the mineral content, not certain if their customer service will be responsive. I tried to return a 'recalled' case of the Essentia water and customer service refused to honor my request. They tried to talk me out of it!

Not much difference in the two. Both use a carbon type filter. Brita is made by the Swiss and Mavea is made by the Germans - both known for good products and engineers. Mavea is the newer product for the States, I think.

I am not sure about the size as far as microns. They are the size of the normal carbon that is in store-bought filter inserts. I use them to redue the store bought and use them over and over again. Fabric store polyester sheets peeled to thickness and blued with hot glue. Works great. I also used it in socks for HOT filters. Amazon does sell one pound bags with zippers that come five to an order. The carbon in those are long, like an inch or so and about 1/8" thick. The Marineland Black Diamond media will not stay in the zipper bags, the mesh is too large.

I don't know about micron ratings. If my mask is rated 3 microns, then I suspect it would not protect against 2.5 micron particles.

There is not micron requirement, but if your water is dirty or needs filtered, you should use a filter before. Standard for whole house filtration on sediment would be 5 micron which is pretty small. Going to a 1 micron may restrict your flow and pressure too much. Contact us for more information, AFW Filters 785-735-9769
