Do these filter out silt?

I would say it filters some. I bought it for dog hair, and it didn't filter that too well.

don't buy these .. They dissolve over time from the chemicals and can cause more damage that good.

They are awesome in pre-filtering floating surface silt... worth every penny as it saves the dirt getting to the main filter system. Buy them and use them. I find putting a small rock in the basket helps to hold the basket down in the hole.

Yes they do. I find very necessary when dealing with water that may contain particles.

I believe the filter allows the water to separate and stay in the filter. There is a fitting at the bottom of the bowel allowing the water and contaminants to be drained off. A must have filtration system for boats

Yes, they are lint free and very clean. No particles come off from these high quality filters

Not that I have noticed, but I have always had a filter of some grade on in front of our water softner.

Yes, but watch your filter pressure as the iron particles may accumulate and clog the filter.

Yes they do a pretty good job overall of keeping particulates out. I Use them for cement dust. Nothing is 100% when it's that fine.

No filter. I just witnessed rain pouring out of my gutters during a big storm. The next day I pulled the gutter insert and yanked out 6-12" of pine needles and debris above the insert. This is a pretty big obstruction in the downspout, so you should definitely have gutter guards. Don't make my mistake.

Yes. I had a Diatamacious Earth filter before this is much easier to use and clean.

The basic filters do not, but you can purchase the fluoride/arsenic filters that attach to the black filters.

I use them to filter out dust, even though they do have little accordion folds. I would go for something with a bit more face coverage to filter out germs.

They are great for my situation. I need large areas and I pump water thru them from a lake. They do not clog from the stuff in the water.

It does not say it requires them, but unless you like cleaning grounds out of the gunk at the bottom afterward, it would be wise to use them. I've seen paper filters shaped like discs for sale, but you don't need to spend extra money--just lay out a normal 12-cup paper filter flat and poke a hole in the middle, then lay it inside the filter basket. It'll save you having to clean out the nozzle later.

Not exactly sure... I know, though, that with pre-ground beans, there is never any sediment that makes it through the filter. With hand-ground beans (which we usually do) there is some at the bottom, but it has never seemed to get in the way.

No,they are half the size needed. i haven't found a source for the exhast filter yet.

I would say that these filters would keep sand from being sucked into your filter. I use them in the tank where I put newly born baby Guppies.

I haven't found those. I pour filtered water in my cat bowl and these I use to catch airborne dust and such. They seem to work fine.
