how many microns is this filter ?

At least four. Probably a lot more than that. Let's put it this way - you are unlikely to grind coffee fine enough that it will pass through the filter. Talcum powder mixed into enough water would _probably_ pass through with some encouragement. If you're asking that question, this filter is probably not what you're looking for. If you're looking to make coffee, it will probably service.

It is very fine, not sure of the micron. A great product, we use it regularly

I think the flow rate will depend a lot on which filter you install inside it. I have used a 50 micron and a 30 micron filter and couldnt tell any difference in either one. My flow rate is not noticably diffe rent than it was before I installed the unit.

Not sure the microns. I bought this over a year ago very happy with it. It has no problem pulling the vacuum down to the lowest reading on the set of gauges that I have.

Although I am not 100% sure, I would guess about 30 Microns. This bag is great for nut milk.

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.

It should, but be sure it is the same size. 10 micron will filter more, may clog more quickly.

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.

No, filtration size is 0.02 micrometers. Flouride is at the atomic level, less than the filtration size of the ceramic filter.

physically the same size ...just that the CW-F is designed for well drawn supplies and only 20 microns of filtration..i went from a 10 micron to 20 ..because it seemed i was replacing the filter too often...and this CW-F is what we use now...without issue.

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."

Depending on your purpose, I run a pre-filter with a 1 micron before my RO unit to grab the most dirt from the tap. Then I have a 5 micron in the RO unit and 2 carbon blocks. After running the pre-filter, my other filters last longer. I use my RO for freshwater aquariums. I have never used anything higher than a 5 micron. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is. The label says "5 micron Nominal Filtration". It is a MATRIKX+CTO /2 32-425-125-975http://www.matrikxfilters.com/cto2.html

Good question. But, why would it be out of the package, unless opened by mistake? I record changing my filter on computer calendar. I would simply shorten the time (to 3 months maximum) if the filter is out of the package. 8/4/2014 I'm editing this. RFC-BBSa is 25 microns, good for 10,000 gallons, 6 months.

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. Berkey doesn't publish micron ratings as they're a little misleading.

50 Micron pre-filter and 5 micron post-filter. The filter is more densely wrapped toward the core.

I'm not sure, we have the big blue filter, it has 3 housings, one is micron, another husk, and a sediment. I bought it from Amazon, look at the web site for that filter and check out the sizing.
