Most filter setups that I read about can be described below (from Midwest Supplies):

"In order to filter beer or wine you will need to have a Cornelius keg system with a minimum of 2 kegs. Un-carbonated product from one tank is pushed with CO2 through the filter into the sanitized empty tank. In order to polish your beer and remove yeast you will need to do this in a two stage process, which means with 2 kegs you will have to clean and sanitize the originating keg before sending the beer back through the fine filter.
The first filter you will use is a 5 micron sized filter to remove large particulate (hops and proteins) that if left for the fine filters would clog them before you finish."

If I wanted to filter, why wouldn't I just buy two filters (coarse and fine), and two filter housings, and plumb them in-line? Then I could filter in one shot.
