Frequently asked questions about filters

questions about micron "What is a micron rating?"
answers about micron The average size of the openings between pieces of the filter media are represented in microns. For example, a 40-micron filter has larger openings than a 5-micron filter. Consequently, the 40-micron filter element will let larger particles pass through the filter than the 5-micron element. As a general rule, the smaller micron rating for a filter is better, but as with most everything, there is a trade-off. Flow capability usually drops off as the micron rating gets smaller. To overcome this, low micron-rating filters must have larger elements to keep from sacrificing precious flow.

We offer many thoughts (quotes) to ponder, such as:
"The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love." - William Wordsworth
