And you forgot to mention what micron that is for... Ofcrouse you the Pure One is 99% that's at 40 Micron. The Fram Extended Guard is 97% at > 20 Micron, which could mean 21 or 30. To give you an idea. 70 Micron is a human hair. There's a 20 micron difference between the 2. If they both use the same micron for testing i'm sure it would be very close, about less than00001% difference. Hell I can build my own filter made out of computer paper and call it 100% but that's at probably 300 micron, does that mean you would use it because it's 100%? Percentage means nothing unless they use the same micron rating for testing.
