Water Filter Micron Ratings

One way to measure the level of filtration of a water filter is through a water filter micron rating. Below find out about water filter cartridge micron ratings including filter micron ratings.

For over 30 years Billi has been supplying Australian households with high-quality water filtration systems. Our products are Australian designed & made in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and feature the most advanced water filtration technology. Here is what is filtered out of your water based on the different filters and water filter cartridge micron ratings so you can determine what filter is best for your needs.

About Water Filter Cartridge Micron Ratings

Water filter cartridge micron ratings are determined by the size of the openings in a filter.

Smaller openings represent a smaller carbon filter micron rating and larger openings represent a higher carbon filter micron rating. The smaller the opening/water filter cartridge micron rating, the more a filter will remove from your water.

Our water filters are available in three filtration levels – HSD and 0.2 & 5 water filter cartridge micron ratings.

HSD Filter

The HSD filter removes:

• Chlorine
• Taste and odour

5 Micron Filter

The filter with a 5 carbon filter micron rating provides a standard filtration level, removing:

• Chlorine
• Taste and odour

0.2 Micron Filter

The filter with a 0.2 carbon filter micron rating provides the highest level of filtration, removing:

• Chlorine
• Taste and odour
• Parasitic cysts

Other Filters

For filter micron ratings, there are filters available that only filter out particles however the filters in our range filter out particles along with other contaminants ensuring higher water quality.

Using a high-quality filter not only improves the quality of your filtered water, but they usually last longer and provide a more consistent level of filtration.

During the filtration process, filters accumulate organic matter – which can lead to biofilm development.

Whilst the filters in our range have a 30,000-litre capacity (chlorine reduction), we do recommend replacing your cartridges every 12 months to ensure optimal water quality and operation.

If you are in an area that requires a higher level of water filtration or you have high usage, you may need to replace your filter more often.
