Allow me to save you a bunch of money.
Buy two of THESE
and something like THIS and THIS
Along with $15 worth of fittings from home depot you'll have many years of spare filters. If you're interested I can go take a picture of my setup. I have these two filters before my water softener.
OK, so yes I do filter. I am determined that brewing will be fun and easy so for filtration, I have settled on a vacuum pump setup with mostly inexpensive filters from Amazon (one of them isn't available on Amazon for reasonable money so I get it elsewhere).
Also, don't use a normal pump, they're a pain in the ASS to deal with. Get a vacuum pump, the All In One Wine Pump is by far the best for the money. The Enolmatic is MUCH more expensive and no better, it does offer a re-useable filter cartridge for an additional 300...but at the cost of disposable filters and setup, you're talking like 1000 gallons of mead for a ROI on that investment...plus you need to clean it and soak it in PBW after each use...for me, I just use the disposables and toss them in the garbage.
For a filter, I use 2 10" water filter housings and brass tubing and brass nipples connected to the tubing I bought with the All In One, I have 2 in line water filters, the first gets a 5 micron, and the second gets a 1 micron filter.
When I rack from primary to secondary I use these for filtration, I also use both 1 and 5 micron filtration when i go from secondary to bulk aging.
When I go from bulk aging to my bottling bucket (I don't like bottling with a vacuum system, it's way more of a pain in the ass than a bottling bucket) I first pull the mead through a 0.5 micron filter and then use a normal racking cane and tube to siphon it into a bottling bucket.
I do NOT use plate filters, they clog and are a pain in the ass. I bought a Buon Vino wine filter, and I NEVER got more than 4 gallons through it before it was so clogged it began to spray all over the counter. I had to disassemble the pump more than once because it was totally clogged up, even after running gallons of hot water through it. Super pain in the ass...don't go that route. Cartridge filters are actually less money and SOOOO much less of a pain in the ass. You will NEVER regret going a vacuum pump, although it means you need to use glass carboys. You just get a long tube, and don't even move the damn things full any more. I just suck it from one to another to move my mead (I have a 15 foot hose on my suction pump.)
The total cost for each batch filtration is $9.25. It's 1.50 each for the 2 5 micron and 2 1 micron (primary and secondary) filters and like 3.25 for the 0.5 micron filter. You can't get a better price ANYWHERE (or if you can let me know)
As far as the difference for the 0.01 micron cartridge filters and something a bit bigger...you CANNOT use active carbon filters or you will KILL your brew, and a 0.5 micron filter will sweep out the last of the yeast and cloudiness after aging. Carbon filters will steal all your flavoring, and they can actually spit out some black carbon crap for the first few minutes, so you've got to fully flush them first...regardless...they're no good for brewing.
