Hello David,
I know you asked for details to your personal mail but it has become a public 
debate
anyway so here is my two pennyworth.

I use two Sytec PRO896 filters which have a 52 micron mesh as proposed by Europa
in a main and reserve setup. I change them during the annual and check them
at 25 hour intervals.
Fortunately I have never seen more than a few specks of contamination in the 
filters
and I am happy with their performance to date. My aircraft is kept in a
hanger unless traveling so I have never seen any water contamination which could
clog a filter of this size quite quickly I imagine.

In this application the filter is there to protect the float needle valve and 
jets
in the carburetter, if it gets clogged it's done it's job but the capacity
was insufficient for the amount of contamination/hours of operation.
