A micrometer, commonly known as micron is one millionth of a meter, one thousandth of a millimeter or one thousand nanometers. A strand ofhuman hair is about 100 microns wide and a red blood cell is approx. 8 microns in diameter. A Micron is .000039 inch or .001 mm. This filter is rated at .003 Microns! Get this filter!!

I don't know how small a micron is however I have it in my man cave and it does real well, you should also buy the carbon filter that goes on the outside of this filter. the carbon filters are usually 3 inches longer with 3 or 4 Velcro strips to hold it in place. the carbon filters do a great job and if you want better try putting 2 carbon filters on, and then you just wash the carbon filter. hope this helps.

not sure but I think it has something to do with the size of particles filtered out. Higher number/smaller particles?

They should eventually go away. Your h300 is a .25 micronfilter. The elf-5m-kdf-p is 5 micron, it will allow much larger particles through. If they are white it may be calcium. Harmless go nack to the h300 much better filter

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.

Kinetico typically uses 2 1/2" X 20" filters, with 2-10" filter elements joined by a "coupler". The filters you ask about do the job better with only one filter, so yes it will. For great, complete filtration, use a 5 micron after the 20 micron. (oh, yeah, better quality filters at a lower price as well)

filter doesnt need a change for very long time, it needs cleaning/with vaccum cleaner only. thats whats HEPA FILTER, REPLACEMENT filters also available in Amazon.com

Yes, this is a 1900, MRV12 filter with a pressure drop of .21 and captures 90% of all particles. I called Filtrete and asked. Too bad Amazon couldn't figure that out! Also, the "Healthy Living" line is made only for Amazon, that's why you won't see it on Filtrete's website. It's just their normal filters with seemingly less information and different packaging.

Pure HEPA filters are the best for the money. This particular model is very good I have 2 I recommend it.

A MERV 11 filter will remove 85% of particles down to 1 or 2 microns as opposed to a MERV 8 which will remove 70% down to 3 microns. In other words the MERV 11 removes a greater Percentage of finer particles but will restrict air flow a little more especially as it gets dirty. My heating unit was designed to take a MERV 11 filter and is what the manufacturer originally installed.

I would ask a HVAC professional. The answer really depends on your furnace and the airflow requirements. Dimensions are not the only thing to consider. HEPA filters are better at trapping particulates but they do reduce the airflow in a system designed for another type of filter. An HVAC guy can tell you if your furnace and blower can handle the reduced cfm.

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 don't know but perhaps accessing Miele's website & searching through their vast filters by machine model/style should give you the answer. Or, take your hepa filter out & compare numbers &/or size on the one you have. They are usually marked/stamped with the part number & then you would be sure. Miele also has a customer service help line phone number that surely would be able to answer your questions.

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)

Yes, this is the pre-filter that catches dust, pet hair, and large particle items then the HEPA filter scrubs the air for all the smaller particles.And, yes, it helps the HEPA filter be more efficient and last longer. Usually we replace these carbon filters quarterly and the HEPA filter only needs to be replaced annually.

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.

It is not a dust or particulate filter. It generates sanitizing hyper peroxides which reduce levels of viruses, bacteria and mold in the air handler, ductwork and on environmental surfaces. You still need air filtration. I use a whole house pleated air type filter in the return air plenum just before the air handler. The combination works great together.
