minimum hg to filter through .22 membrane filter
I am currently using a glass filtration system with membrane disc filters. I mostly use .45 um disc filter papers and everything is smooth and fine. However, recently I got some .22 um disc filters and my vacuum pump doesnt seem to be able to push the finish product through it. I have an air admiral that provides a max of 20 mmHG i believe. Would getting another vacuum pump that provides closer to 30 mmHG solve this issue?

20mm/Hg converts to 0.787in/Hg. That is no where near even 1 in/Hg.
A 0.2um can filter around 5in/Hg, but I stick around 10in/Hg
You would need 127mm/Hg to be 5in/Hg.
You need a far stronger pump bro.

If you put the filters upside down they won't filter or it will go really slowly. Most people I know use handheld brake bleeders.
