what is the micron filtration size?

Culligan (not Amazon) lists this as a class 1 particulate filter - meaning between .5 and 1 micron filtration.

Micron is a unit of length measurement. 1 micron equals .0000393 inch. Simply put micron filtration means it prevents extremely small particles of impurities from being in your water.

I don't remember offhand, but I would recommend the 4 instead of the 3. Canister is twice the size and water flows faster. It also acts as somewhat of an expansion tank evening out flow pulsations. Worth the price difference.

I can't say. What I can say is that I've used this system for around ten years to filter our drinking water (essentially creek water) and have suffered no ill effects. For me, it's safe and economical. And though I've never cut one apart, they're a lot heavier when I remove them than when I install them - discounting the water content of course.

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

5 micron is the largest size, you can use a 1 micron if you wish. If you use anything larger then 5 micron the "bugs" can hide behind the particles! I use a 5 micron filter.

I read on Amazon that the filters dimensions are 2.8 x 2.8 x 2.8. I have the box and packaging and nowhere is the size printed on the either. Hope this helps.

This is an 810, a 5 micron filter element. There may be an 801, perhaps in a different pore size.

The diameter of the opening in the center of the filter is 1 inch. The total filter diameter is 2 5/8 inches.

It's #4 size, round at the top and tapering to a narrow line at the bottom -- just like the #4 paper filter.BTW, I've been using this for years now and it works really great. I've never had any problems with it.

I use these in my fountain for cats, or small dogs. Don"t know what size the filters are in larger models

I love the filter.. have used it is Mongolia in Ulaan Baatar which has terrible air quality.. Also, Jerusalem, Israel and calgary, Ab. It works . I could not say about the microns.

I'm not sure. The bottom has the same diameter as a standard paper filter, and it's slightly shorter. Not sure if that helps....

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

I bought mine about 20 years ago. I have a trusted file folder in my file cabinet titled equipment instructions. I found the original instructions that had all the part #s fortunately. the filter element is 14" Outside Diameter, 9 1/8" Inside Diameter, 9 3/4" High.

A company representative informed me that it filters 100% of that particles. Their website says "99%" of particles. Another company representative said that it was "under 1 micron."

It takes the big filter. I believe A size. I use an Intex sand filter with mine. The upgrade was well worth it.

It was quite larger then the Dr. Grabow type corn cob filter so I would say 9 mm . Seemed shorter too . I just took mine out when it drew slow .

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.

These filters work best for me when nestled inside of a larger paper filter. Measurement across the bottom is 3 and 1/4 inches . Measurement across the top is 4 and 3/8 inches . Filter is 2 and 1/4 inches tall.
