I have a small barrel of about 90 liters full of 02 vintage Chardonnay
and plan to filter it using my Buon Vino Super Jet. The wine is fairly
clear but not quite as brilliant as I would like. I am thinking of
trying 1 pad of #2 (polishing filtration) followed by 2 pads of #3
(super sterile pads .5 micron) with a view to making it a one-step process.

Has anyone tried using the filter with different levels of pads? Any
thoughts on pros and cons? My main purpose is to primarily to reduce
the handling and therefore oxygenation of the wine and secondarily to
reduce the work.

In the past I have generally been satisfied with the No. 2 pad as it
clears the wine really well however, since I am planning on aging this
wine for several years I feel the .5 micron would help with stability.

Also, does anyone know off hand the microns of the Nos. 1 & 2 pads.
Only the No.3 pad has any reference to microns.

Thanks for any comments.
