which oil filters should I buy??? filter installation

[reom35a2fluiter]

I have now 100 gallons of used motor oil at home.
only the filters must still be purchased.
but which filters should I buy??
I think of the follow filters:
5 microns for the water
10 micron filter
25 micron filter

I hope you can give me more advice??

I also read somewhere that some people use magnets in their setup. how do I build it in this case?

My first UMO/WMO filtering setup sent the oil through various filters & water-blockers down to 1 micron (AMSOIL bypass filter, EaBP110). However, I am STILL getting water in my final filtered setup, in spite of my best efforts to filter/block water. Granted, my setup is temporary right now, and I want to add a heating element to my coarsely-strained oil drum; but I am so fed up now with the persistence of the water that I am going to purchase a centrifuge this summer.

i use magnets in my set up, but i use drip socks so i just throw them in. I have seen someones set up were they put magnets on the waste oil barrel in a way so that as you pour in the waste oil it runs over them. I also use rare earth magnets as they are stronger

if I have a 5 micron filter application on my installation would not stop the water??

Or am I obliged to apply to a centrifuge??
Where can I buy this centrifuge??

Or maybe you have other ideas??

So far for me the best thing I do for water is let it sit(the oil) and the water WILL settle to the bottom of the holding tank. Be sure you have a bottom drain or don't pull oil out close to the bottom.

This has been the easiest and by far NO $$$$ way of doing it. You just have to have enough oil to use that it doesn't matter if it sits for a while.

I also have 2 oil containers, one I put in any oil I don't know for sure of (100% free of water) and the other I ONLY put oil in that I am 100% sure of so I can use that stuff right away and let the other set.

true that oil floats on water.
I must ensure that the water so I can get out.
or not pump ore than 3/4 from your barrel and throw the rest away.
