Yes - a 5 micron will filter out much smaller particles than a 30 micron.

∙ 12y agoA 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.

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.

5 microns is less than 10 microns so a 5 micron filter removes smaller particles.
It should.
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
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.
For well water, it is recommended to use a 5-micron water filter. This will help to remove smaller particles and contaminants that may be present in the water. A 25-micron filter may not be as effective in capturing smaller particles that can affect water quality.
They can be used to filter water so that rust and dust and dirt do not contaminate downstream (drinking water, industrial or commercial processing, etc)
