Product Highlight

What is a micron rating?

The average size of the openings between pieces of the filter media are represented in microns. For example, a 40-micron filter has larger openings than a 5-micron filter. Consequently, the 40-micron filter element will let larger particles pass through the filter than the 5-micron element.

As a general rule, the smaller micron rating for a filter is better, but as with most everything, there is a trade-off. Flow capability usually drops off as the micron rating gets smaller, especially if the water has a lot of sediment, which well water often has. If the filter at the end of your kitchen sink spout needs to be cleaned frequently, it's a good bet that your water has a lot of sediment.

To overcome sediment-causing flow rate problems, low micron-rating filters must have larger elements to keep from sacrificing precious flow, like a sediment prefilter to remove larger particles that clog the one micron filter and reduce water flow.
