Yes there is a bigt difference between the two. Also the RO element will last a lot longer if you use the 1 micron filter. Some people with realy dirty water will run the 10 micron then the 1 micron to reduce some of the particals that the 1 micron will clog up with. This actually would give you a longer life on the 1 micron filter. A lot of this though is a matter of what impurities are present in your water and in what density.
