Watts Flow-Max surface filter, with a popular 5 micron-rating for normal sediment applications.
Surface filters are best if you are filtering sediment of similar-sized particles. If all particles are 5 micron, a pleated 5-micron filter works best because it has more surface area than a depth filter.
