Particulate Size Filtered

Before deciding on a water filter or filter element, consider the size and type of particulates that need to be filtered. Some systems require that only particulates down to 20 microns in size be filtered, while others may require filtration of particulates as small as ten microns or less. Additionally, water filters help remove certain types of sediment and other chemicals, like chlorine, from your water supply.

Replacement

To keep your filtration system running smoothly, replace filters regularly according to the instructions provided. Many filters offer convenient ways to know when a filter needs replacing, such as an indicator light or lever. Filter elements may even restrict fuel flow when the element is full, signaling that it's time for a replacement.
