When looking for a prefilter - whether as a replacement in an existing system or for a new application - it is of vital importance to determine the proper pore size rating and removal efficiency required. This involves gathering information on the fluid to be filtered, what filter is it protecting, flow, throughput expectations, etc.
For a replacement filter, it is necessary to remember that not all vendors rate their prefilters the same way. One cannot necessarily call up a different vendor and say “I need a 0.45-micron prefilter to replace the one I’m using”. A conscientious vendor will take the time to get detailed information about your application to properly specify the appropriate replacement filter. A less diligent vendor may send you whatever 0.45-micron filter they have available, which may yield significantly different results.
The variance in results would prompt the customer to ask “Why is your 0.45 micron filter different than the one I’m already using?” The answer lies in how different vendors rate their prefilters, both in terms of pore size and removal efficiency.
