5 Gallon Per Minute (GPM)
a nominal 5 micron filter may allow a small fraction of 5 micron dirt to pass through
Also known as ultra-fine filters, 0
Includes cross reference chart for mesh, microns, inches and millimeters
Most ISM flow control components do not contain filter screens any finer than 500 mesh
However, if you are not sure about the quality of the water, you should go with a 1 or 0
Another thing to consider is alternatives to polypropylene filter cartridges

The smaller the micron rating, the finer the particulate removed
The amount that will get removed during water filtration depends on Good filtration needs a large area of filter to pass the air out

Most single dust particles are no bigger than 5 microns in size, so a filter that stops particulates down to 1 micron in size will be able to catch much of the airborne dust
If you have very fine sediment, you can use a 10 or a 5 micron (the smaller the micron, the smaller the sediment particles it catches) but you may experience more pressure loss and need to replace your filter more often
The filter elements are often a sintered material, like polyethylene or bronze
The idea behind an N95 mask is it has a filtering ability down to, and actually below, the size of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19
