The info for how many microns it can filter up to (i.e. 2 microns, 0.3 microns, etc.) is not shown in the product description. Does anyone know?

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.

I am currently using this 5 micron filter as a pre-filter for my Kineko system and it works fine. Depending on the hardness of your water, the lower the microns the more small sediment it cleans out. I have very hard water and am thinking of adding a second filter using the 5 micron filter. With the 5 micron filter it may have to be changed more often because it cleans out more but at the bulk rate price on these filters it is well worth it.

Dear Doyle - same problem here - generic 3M packaging with no clue as to MPR rating. This could be significant as the lowest rated MPR may be 1/2 of the price of the highest rated filter.

Ther larger number of Mesh, is the better filter (filters out smaller particles). here is a link http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/fire/nrcg/2011%20Inspection%20Forms/11_Micron%20and%20Mesh.pdf

This is a 20 micron filter, fuel injected usually recommends 10 micron. It wont filter out as much which in turn maybe could cause issues with your injectors. We can't advise you either way, just give you the information and let you decide.

The particle size is not given, but it is in the micron range. I've gotten great results on non-critical applications, and I would recommend this product without hesitation, although you may want to buy less than a pound to try it out. If you really need the particle size, I may be able to help you out, I have access to an electron microscope.

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)

It depends on the filtration level you are looking for. The smaller the micron number the cleaner the water will be. The tradeoff is if your water has more sediment then the filter will clog up faster. Or if you only need to remove sediment then perhaps the larger micron filter will do. I use a 1 micron filter since I want to remove as much as possible.

No. But it supports upto 64mg micros but only if specialy formatted. Instructions included.

This is just a filter housing. The filters you can put in it are pretty much particle filters. The smaller the micron filter the more particles it will filter out. Though if you are specificly looking to filter out those, this is probably not the right way to go. Check out ohio pure water's website, CK Moore is great at reccomending the right filter for the items you are wanting to filtering out.

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

The filter media (KDF) is granular so there is no micron rating. Large particulates like sand are captured by the screen that holds the KDF media in the cartridge. The filter is NSF certified for chlorine reduction.

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.

I think it can!! DE is the way to go- as it filters out the smallest particles of any filter. I would do a Google search first- there is I'm sure a chart of what size pool each filter can handle.

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.

upon research... it would appear that the Carbon filter claims a filtering criteria of down to .1 micron... while this filter claims only a .3 micron thresh hold... that means that all the dust and dirt particles between .11 micron and .29 micron will pass right through this filter.. but be caught by the other.. in addition. the carbon filter does indeed offer an effort towards odor reducing overall in the home.. the house smells fresher faster.. and stays that way... that's why we went for the Carbon clean..

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.
