Which MICRON sediment WATER FILTER is BEST for my family?

Choosing the best sediment or sand filter for your family shouldn’t be difficult, but what micron do you need? Which one is better, 50, 25, 10, 5 or 1? Is the lower number better or worse? What about an automatic self cleaning filter? I’m going to explain the micron ratings and help you choose which one is best for your family right now!
There are several different micron ratings of sediment filters, https://waterestore.ca/collections/sediment-filters but they all look the same. Choose one that is too dense and you could be restricting your water flow and will require replacement often, choose one that isn’t dense enough and it will not remove bigger sediment to keep your Ultraviolet disinfection system working and you’ll still have too much sediment getting through into your home.
Filters are rated by their ability to remove sediment down to a particular size of microns. So what’s a micron? A micron is one millionth of a meter, but what does that really mean? For example, a human hair is 45 microns in diameter or a red blood cell is 5 microns in size.
When choosing a filter, you really need to know what you’re hoping to accomplish with this filter. If it’s a pre filter for an Ultraviolet light it will need to filter down to a very fine 5 microns. If you’re just thinking about removing some of the particles in your water because they’re clogging the screens going to your washing machine or bathroom faucets, a coarser 20 microns would be fine.
A great solution to get the benefits of both filters is to go with a dual gradient filter https://waterestore.ca/search?type=product&q=dual*%20gradient* like a 50 to 5 which is a very coarse 50 microns on the outside but a much finer 5 microns on the inside.
Another thing to consider is alternatives to polypropylene filter cartridges.
If you have a lot of very coarse sediment in your water and you’re constantly replacing filters you can go with a spin down filter. But keep in ,mind that about the finest they get is 60 microns and you need to maintain these https://waterestore.ca/search?type=product&q=spin*
If you have lots of sand but don’t want to keep manually cleaning the spin down filter https://waterestore.ca/search?type=product&q=spindown* you can go with an automatic back washable filter which will remove sediment down to almost 5 microns https://waterestore.ca/products/hum-auto-backwashable-nexand-filter-1-cubic-foot?_pos=2&_sid=5f50fb581&_ss=r
If you have multiple needs, like coarse sand, too much sediment and you need to pre filter for a UV light you can use a couple of filters starting at the coarsest filter first in the direction of the water flow going down to the finest filter. If you have a carbon filter in the mix, it would be the last filter because carbon will clog very readily from sediment in your water so you definitely want to get rid of that first!
