What is the micron rating of this filter? 50? 30? ...

"50- micron pre-filter; 5-micron post-filter (nominal)". The unit is presented as a "dual-gradient density" filter. I believe that means the outer layers are more loosely wrapped and trap particles at the 50 micron size, and the inner core is tighter wrapped filtering down to 5 microns. This design should extend filter life as far as maintain a decent flow rate for a longer time, from my understanding.

50 Micron pre-filter and 5 micron post-filter. The filter is more densely wrapped toward the core.

I've actually never heard of it up until you asked this. I did some research and found that the cell size is 0.5 um^3. So if the cell is 0.5 microns the filter will get rid of it because it filters down to 0.05 microns.

I am using it on my 5-gallon hex tank and it works great! I previously had a smaller filter (rated at 45gph) that was just not doing the job.

A company representative informed me that it filters 100% of that particles. Their website says "99%" of particles. Another company representative said that it was "under 1 micron."

Newer diesels require filtering in the micron range. I would not recommend this filter for that.

Because some are too restrictive. This filter has an air resistance rating of 0.12" WG. Stay away from 0.20" WG or higher.

no. search on p100 filter and you'll see the 3m spec sheet that will tell you what it's good for and what it's not good for. Get your answers from mfg !!!

Yes, they are pleaded. However, pleaded is only one minor factor in a filters efficiency. Far more important is the micron rating, and whether or not the filter is electrostatically charged.

Not sure if this is the answer you wanted but specifications show: Dust Removal Rate at..... 1 micron 99.97% - 0.3 micron 80%

its pretty obivious the way filters are rated 10 for 10gal 20 for 20gal. 30 for 30 gal. your fine if u purchases the 20gal. my 30 gal.one works great

Well, I haven't looked for actual test results for proof, but from the packaging on mine: "This filter's performance has been rated MERV 8 based on the minimum efficiency observed during the industry standard ASHRAE #52.2 test. The test is a determination of the filter's ability to trap particles in the air we breathe. These particles range in size from .3-10 microns in diameter. Residential filters typically are rated in the range of MERV 1-10. Higher ratings indicate more efficient filters."

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

Yes this will and it is a better filter, I have tried the other styles and they always let stuff though and clog pretty quick, these last longer and filter better. Locally I can get the string filter like these that filter down to 5 Microns which I like even better.

I don't know about microns, but the filter helps with allergens a lot. I live in the deep South where the pollen is very bad right now. Allergy testing revealed that I am allergic to everything tested except two items. It is wonderful to experience relief.

Yes, it is. The label says "5 micron Nominal Filtration". It is a MATRIKX+CTO /2 32-425-125-975http://www.matrikxfilters.com/cto2.html

Sorry can't really answer this accurately because they sent me the wrong filter.

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.
