QUESTION #1: What is the difference between portable filters and Polar Pure?

FAQ
ANSWER: Filters have become popular because they can remove pollutants from water without changing the water taste. The most popular portable filters sold today have pore sizes of 0.1 to 4 microns. The Giardia cyst is 6 microns in diameter. Many bacteria are larger than 0.2 microns, so 0.2 micron filters are adequate to handle such organisms. Viruses, however, range from 0.004 to 0.06 microns in size -- far smaller than the pore size of the best portable filter.

QUESTION #2:What is the advantage of using Polar Pure instead of a portable filter?

FAQ
ANSWER: All filters eventually become clogged. Filter lifetime is determined by the quantity and size of particles in the water (a prefilter extends life). Filters may also clog from growth of organisms in the filter medium. The filter must then be backflushed or replaced or, for ceramic filters, scrubbed clean, slowly eroding the ceramic. In very cold conditions, retained water may freeze, plugging and possibly cracking the filter element. Filters weigh 1 to 1.

QUESTION #9: Should I keep water in my Polar Pure bottle during the "off" season or between uses?

FAQ
ANSWER: It is a good idea to keep water in your Polar Pure bottle when not in use so that it is ready when you need it. Keep tightly capped and prevent the bottle contents from freezing. A full bottle of Polar Pure may break if frozen due to expansion of the liquid. It is not a problem to empty the bottle if you prefer, just keep it tightly capped -- some liquid will be retained in the bottle.

What is the difference between the Pure Blushes and the Pure Rouges?

Will Nordic Pure Air Filters Cause Air Flow Problems Through My HVAC System?

Nordic Pure: Frequently Asked Questions
Nordic Pure Merv 12 filters have a low air flow resistance for residential and commercial heating and cooling systems. Air flow is generally measured as a difference in air pressure on each side of the filter, measured by an instrument that uses water in a measured column to show air pressure. The higher the pressure difference, the more the water in the instrument moves. Its movement is measured in inches. The more inches of water moved, the more the pressure difference.
