Can't find the microns filtered; to filter viruses out needs to be able to filter 0.025. Or info on back-flushing?

I am not sure it does I bought it for a back up I would suggest that you order a life straw..that is the name of the one I use. .it is used by all survivalist

All I could say is its filters 5 8oz glasses of water per day for up to 6 months, but I only have it as a back up filter, I havent used it yet.

from their disclaimer .............."This product does not filter viruses and bacteria other than Giardia, and E Coli"

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.

Can only tell you that they both filter down to 0.05 microns, which is better than the LifeStraw's 0.2 microns. Appear to be the same product with different logos stamped on outside during manufacture.

YES. The ebola virus is 0.08 microns in size. Almost no filter will remove this. BUT the LifeStraw Family filters to 0.02 microns, so yes ebola would be filtered out. That is if it mutates to survive in our water supply, which is unknown.

They were an exact fit replacement for my original Hayward filters. I don't know the micron size but they clean as well if not better than the originals. I recommend them..

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.

It does not. It has a .3 micron filter. Much too large to capture viruses. I hope this helps

Negative, this does not filter well enough, if you have a boil advisory I would stick to boiling it. I use this as a whole house filter, and in addition I use a filter on my drinking water tap that filters down to 2 microns, this filter only does 5 microns, even if it did filter down to 2 microns, I'd still recommend boiling the water with your advisory!

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.

As I noted in my review, all of the filters that I rec'd are marked 228 micron. It is my understanding that the "assorted" means that you could receive anything in the 90-190 micron range (even tho I rec'd 228 micron!); "assorted" does not apparently mean that you will receive an assortment of sizes.

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!

I have tested few times in the past month. There is no change at all in the reading - ~ 350 before filtering and ~ 350 after filtering.

I am sorry but I really don't know, I am not technically at all. I had a virus on my computer and this removed it very quick and easy. I did call customer service before ordering it to see if it will help with my virus and they were very helpful. I would suggest calling customer service before ordering it.

The factory filter bag is rated for 2 micron nominal. I am not aware of any alternate filter bags as the assembly may not be capable at proper dust/chip removal if you try to go less. The restriction at 1 micron or less may be a problem. Keeping the filter bag clean is easy enough - just tap on the sides when finished. I find the unit does a very adequate job considering the price. If finer filtration is required I would suggest an air cleaner set up with HEPA filtration.

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.
