Micron filters are a measurement of how many openings per INCH there are - so there's 10 openings per inch in a 10 micron - and 100 openings per inch in 100 --- so obviously much finer (smaller) openings. |
Greg, I believe it's the opposite. 100 microns is a coarser pre-pump filter. Filters down to 100 microns. Less restriction which is what you want on the pump inlet. The 10 micron filter is used on the pressure side, after the pump. It filters down to 10 microns. 10 microns is smaller than 100 microns.
