Filter FAQ
How often should I replace my filter?
The replacement interval depends on usage conditions and filter type. For standard residential applications, we recommend replacing disposable filters every 3-6 months. Industrial filters typically require more frequent replacement, often monthly or quarterly. Always monitor pressure differentials - when the pressure drop across the filter exceeds 10 PSI above normal operating conditions, it's time for replacement regardless of the time interval.
What's the difference between nominal and absolute micron ratings?
Nominal micron rating indicates the filter can capture a percentage (usually 60-90%) of particles at the stated size. Absolute rating means the filter will capture 98% or more of particles at the specified size. For critical applications requiring precise filtration (medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor), absolute rated filters are essential. Our product line includes both types with clear labeling to help customers make informed decisions.
Can I clean and reuse my filter?
Some filters are designed for reuse while others are disposable. Our stainless steel mesh filters can typically be cleaned up to 50 times before replacement, while pleated paper or polyester filters are usually single-use. Always consult the product manual - improper cleaning of disposable filters can damage the media and reduce effectiveness. For reusable filters, we recommend ultrasonic cleaning for optimal results and longest service life.
