What is a better option than a high micron filter?

A low micron filter is often considered a better option than a high micron filter because it is designed to capture smaller particles that could potentially cause wear and tear or clogging in the oil heating system. High micron filters typically allow larger particles to pass through, which may not provide adequate protection for the system components, leading to maintenance issues and decreased efficiency.

Using a low micron filter ensures that contaminants such as dirt, rust, and other particulates are effectively removed from the oil before it reaches critical components like the burner or nozzle. This helps to improve the overall performance and longevity of the heating system by maintaining cleaner fuel flow and reducing the likelihood of operational problems.

While high efficiency filters are beneficial, they are not specified as being the low micron option in this context, so the low micron filter remains the most focused choice for enhanced filtration. Medium micron filters and standard filters might not offer the same level of protection as the low micron filter, as they allow more contaminants to bypass the filtration system.
