Microfilter

membrane filter used to trap microorganisms suspended in water. Filters are usually installed on dental unit waterlines near the point of use as a retrofit device. Microfiltration commonly occurs at a filter pore size of 0.03 to 10 microns. Sediment filters commonly found in dental unit water regulators range from 20 to 90 microns pore size and do not function as microbiological filters.
