What percentage of one-micron particles does it capture?

I have not had to use it yet. I received it as a Christmas gift and have been doing another project that does not require any sanding. The unit itself is well made, runs fine when I tested it. Sorry that I cannot do you any good.

I don't see this info in the manual. I assume that it will remove down until it is clogged.

The purpose is to remove solids from the water. I don't know the exact size in microns but small.

it helps eliminate all allergens, dander, and viruses i think as small as .5-.3 microns. but im almost certain it is .3 :) also the genius 5 is good but i have the genius 4 and i love it. I leave mine running 24/7 and I've had it about 6 months now. i just cleaned my filter and i was AMAZED at all the dust and dander it cleaned out of the air. I have 2 labs so i leave it running to filter their hair and it does wonders. would highly recommend getting one of these!

The Family Filter takes out more than the personal filter. But even a .02 micron filter will not take out chemicals, pesticides or heavy metals.

Well, I haven't looked for actual test results for proof, but from the packaging on mine: "This filter's performance has been rated MERV 8 based on the minimum efficiency observed during the industry standard ASHRAE #52.2 test. The test is a determination of the filter's ability to trap particles in the air we breathe. These particles range in size from .3-10 microns in diameter. Residential filters typically are rated in the range of MERV 1-10. Higher ratings indicate more efficient filters."

It stirs the dirt up and sucks it through a fabric filter. I find that some particulates get through. The filters come in various capabilities so get the finest available, 2 microns.

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.

the unit has air quality monitor, clean room mode, sensor for particle and dust. True HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of pollen, dust, pet dander, and smoke particles as small as 0.3 microns.*From the air that passes through the filter

the manual states that it pulls down to 30 microns, but that would be dependant of some factors such as your local barometric pressure and what your using it for

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.

I have no idea on the particle size. That is certainly out of my capability to measure particle size, sorry. Seems to be working well. I will oftentimes process it twice to get a stronger solution. That's just my way of boosting solution.

(Note: Micron=Micrometer, a form of measurement) The answer is in the fact that it filters to 0.1 microns, Simple put, since different germs are different sizes it will filter out a large amount of germs yet not even close to all. A more indepth answer is bacteria are usually 2-0.2 microns large(This will filter bacteria) while viruses can be 0.2-0.002 microns(Some viruses are filtered). Fungus spores are 20-4 microns so you shouldn't need to worry about this filtering fungus spores.

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

2 Microns. Not enough to filter out viruses, or even all bacteria. (Though the seller will tell you that those are killed by the iodine.)I see that the seller has changed the format of the page to be more intelligible, and now answers that question in plain sight, rather than buried in the middle of a dense text-storm like it was when I looked at it. Probably you too.

A reviewer posted that it is two microns. Paracyte cysts and most bacteria would be stopped as a result. Particulate toxins would also be prohibited.

A MERV 11 filter will remove 85% of particles down to 1 or 2 microns as opposed to a MERV 8 which will remove 70% down to 3 microns. In other words the MERV 11 removes a greater Percentage of finer particles but will restrict air flow a little more especially as it gets dirty. My heating unit was designed to take a MERV 11 filter and is what the manufacturer originally installed.

not sure but I think it has something to do with the size of particles filtered out. Higher number/smaller particles?
