These 20x20 cm filter pads are rated at 0.5 micron. They are great for removing 99.999% of bacteria, when you want to promote sterility in your bottles. Please note though that these pads will not remove 100% of the bacteria. These should be used after filtering with a higher micron sheet so as to avoid clogging. These sheets are stamped with the code V24 so you can easily tell which sheet you are working with.
Sanitizing
The filters can be sanitized by in-line steam, auto-claving, dry heat, hot water or chemical methods. Another method is using Saniclean solution through the pads followed by sterile water or a small amount of wine that is then discarded. After the solution is run through the pads, and the pads have softened, the filter will need to be re-tightened.
Using the Filter Pads
Each pad has an inlet and an outlet side, distinguished by their different textures. The inlet side is a billowy type texture, frequently called the "rough" side; and the outlet side has a crosshatch pattern and is commonly called the "smooth" side.
