How many microns does it filter?

Not sure. Maybe 2 microns. I do know it works well with my Aquabot T2 Turbo, if that helps.

The original is advertised at 2 microns, I can't tell any difference in the replacement bags, it picks up very fine particles, sand, etc. Remember this is not filtering your pool, hopefully you have a DE filter doing the heavy lifting, this just keeps your pool cleaned up and the rubber feet on the rollers keeps everything scrubbed including the tile / water line. I've had mine (Aquabot Turbo T) for 4.5 years and absolutely no problems, i love it!

Not a clue. But it was much thinner than what I would have bought fromthe pool store.

The bag is referred to as being 'fine' which means closer to 2 microns. It will pick up algae, sand and debris.

According to the katadyn website, the hiker series (hiker and hiker pro) filter down to .3 microns. same as what's on the box.I know it's kept me from at least one round with crypto, after hiking with friends. I used my hiker pro, they didn't. about the time we got back to civilization they got very sick.good filter.

Berkey doesn't publish micron ratings as they're a little misleading. From their website, if a filter traps of 0.2 micron particles then it's acceptable - even if the other 10% lets in 1.0 micron particles - to call it a 0.2 micron filter. But if you read the test results on their website, their filters are capable of filtering 99.999% of viruses and 99.9999% of bacteria. That's better than almost any filter out there. In fact, you test the filter by adding a teaspoon of red food coloring to a gallon of water and running it through the filter. I can vouch for the fact that in mine, the water comes out crystal clear.

I don't remember the exact number, but that seems right. I personally prefer the micro fine metal filter that came with it also.

According to the EPA (http://www.epa.gov/mold/whattowear.html) N95 is recommended. N95 is required to filter down to 0.3 microns. According to all the googling I did, mold spores are larger than 1 micron. Please google and/or check with a mold expert on the micron size of your particular mold.

The cloth bag at the top is the filter and the bottom one is the collector bag. I don't know the micron size but it lets very little dust out of the system. I also have an air filter that turn over air in shop 8 times per hour. I do not think there are any filter options on the shop fox or on any other brand.

No, filtration size is 0.02 micrometers. Flouride is at the atomic level, less than the filtration size of the ceramic filter.

I have not used mine yet, but the silt filter is 5 micron. the other 2 are charcoal.

I believe it has to be at least 5 micron, water etc will start to pass through a 10 micron or larger to my knowledge. Water will not pass through the filter element in this funnel.

This particular technology is proprietary and the manufacturer doesn't give a number. In marine applications, a 10μ filter is usual for fuel-water separation.

I have been researching small filter as I work with various manufacturers of larger reverse osmosis systems. Frankly, this product scares me; you need at least 0.1 micron to filter out bacteria. That still leaves viruses, some chemicals, silica, and various dissolved solids. The only way to deal with some of these other contaminants is to use reverse osmosis.

I don't know if you can use that filter however I would say it is very important to use the SuperSterasyl Filters to achieve the 5 micron's (99.99999% pure)

2 Microns. Not enough to filter out viruses, or even all bacteria. (Though the seller will tell you that those are killed by the iodine.)I see that the seller has changed the format of the page to be more intelligible, and now answers that question in plain sight, rather than buried in the middle of a dense text-storm like it was when I looked at it. Probably you too.

I would consider my water pretty dirty and its fine. To small micron would mean you would need to replace it more often. For me I replace it every two months not because its pluged its just dirty and you start to get a taste in the water. I think this is a perfect prefilter for a house. I run it before my softer.

The Family Filter takes out more than the personal filter. But even a .02 micron filter will not take out chemicals, pesticides or heavy metals.

The purpose is to remove solids from the water. I don't know the exact size in microns but small.

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
