A micron size of 0.1 to 0.5 is considered the most effective for a water filter as it can remove smaller particles and contaminants from the water.
It should.
For well water, it is recommended to use a 5-micron water filter. This will help to remove smaller particles and contaminants that may be present in the water. A 25-micron filter may not be as effective in capturing smaller particles that can affect water quality.
A 5 Micron is more fine then a 20 Micron, It means, if a particle has a thickness of 1 micron. only 5 numbers of particle can be passed through a 5 Micron filter at a time while 20 numbers of Particle can be passed through a 20 Micron filters. the 5 Micron is more efferent to the 20 Micron.
A 5 micron filter removes particles and contaminants that are larger than 5 microns in size from the water.
A 0.5 micron water filter can remove particles and contaminants that are larger than 0.5 microns in size, such as sediment, dirt, rust, and some bacteria and viruses.
1 Micron removes the most. The lower the micron the more sediment it removes.
A 0.2 micron filter is not designed to filter out minerals from water. It is generally used to remove bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms. Minerals are typically too small to be captured by a filter of this size.
A typical recommendation for filtering chilled water in an industrial setting is to use a 5-micron filter. This helps to remove smaller particles and debris that may be present in the water, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient cooling system. However, the appropriate micron filter may vary depending on specific needs and water quality.
A 5 Micron because it is smaller than the 30 Micron. Thanks! I'm not a professional plumber, but I am a college graduate, and it seems to me that 5-micron openings would not restrict water flow more that 30-micron openings as long as there are at least 36 times as many of them, so I would think that it depends not only on the particulate size for which the filter is rated but also on the filter's surface area and density (please let me know if I am wrong). -HW
They can be used to filter water so that rust and dust and dirt do not contaminate downstream (drinking water, industrial or commercial processing, etc)

The best way is to filter sterilize the solution using a nylon membrane/ syringe filter, of 0.45 micron pore size. If needed, dissolve Urea in autoclaved water and then filter sterilize.
