Yes - a 5 micron will filter out much smaller particles than a 30 micron.
A 5 Micron because it is smaller than the 30 Micron. Thanks! I'm not a professional plumber, but I am a college graduate, and it seems to me that 5-micron openings would not restrict water flow more that 30-micron openings as long as there are at least 36 times as many of them, so I would think that it depends not only on the particulate size for which the filter is rated but also on the filter's surface area and density (please let me know if I am wrong). -HW
It should.

The choice between a 5 micron and a 30 micron filter depends on the specific filtration needs. A 5 micron filter is better for removing smaller particles, while a 30 micron filter is better for larger particles. Consider the size of particles you need to filter out to determine which filter is more suitable for your needs.
A 5 micron water filter will capture smaller particles than a 20 micron filter. This means the 5 micron filter will provide better filtration and remove more contaminants from the water. However, it may clog faster than a 20 micron filter due to the smaller pore size.
Yes, a 5 micron filter is superior to a 25 micron filter in terms of filtration efficiency because it can capture smaller particles due to its smaller pore size.

5 microns is less than 10 microns so a 5 micron filter removes smaller particles.
It should.
A 5 micron filter removes particles and contaminants that are larger than 5 microns in size from the water.
A 5 micron filter syringe will capture particles larger than 5 microns, while a 0.2 micron filter syringe will capture particles larger than 0.2 microns. The 0.2 micron filter provides greater filtration efficiency for removing smaller particles compared to the 5 micron filter.
1 micron is smaller
The micron size of 5 is better for the specific application being considered.
It depends on what you want to use it for!
A typical recommendation for filtering chilled water in an industrial setting is to use a 5-micron filter. This helps to remove smaller particles and debris that may be present in the water, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient cooling system. However, the appropriate micron filter may vary depending on specific needs and water quality.
