I'm really confuced but someone told me that one 25mm/0,45um filter is only for about 30ml filtering stuff and some site is giving information that one is for 1,3 cm3(130ml)

Who can say-what filtering quantity is good?how many ml??
 
Get the larger diameter filters, and youll be good for anywhere between 100-150ml. The filters are good for as long as you can pass gear through them. They will not turn "bad" after a certainm amount, they just clog and you physically cannot use them anymore.
