Yes - a 5 micron will filter out much smaller particles than a 30 micron.
It should.
1 Micron removes the most. The lower the micron the more sediment it removes.
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
10 micron.
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.
50 micron will filter more than 25micron

Filter is a finer version of strainer or strainer is a coarser version of filter. If particle size to be filtered>200 mesh, then its the job of strainer If particle size to be filtered<200 mesh, then its the job of filter
2 MICRON
a ten micron filter will remove smaller particles from the system, but will also clog faster
10 micron.
10 micron
A 0.2 micron filter is not designed to filter out minerals from water. It is generally used to remove bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms. Minerals are typically too small to be captured by a filter of this size.
It should.
Most molds are larger than 0.22 microns and would generally be trapped by a filter of that size. However, there are some molds that are smaller and may be able to pass through a 0.22 micron filter. It is always best to use filters specifically designed for filtering out mold spores if dealing with mold contamination.
7 micron will filter smaller particles than 10 micron.
