I might use the Puralator PureOne with Mobil 1 SS 10W 30 this weekend. What do you guys think of the PureOne filter?

It looks like it does an excellent job

This particle count test is usually done for hydraulic oil. It measures the only thing a filter can do...filter out particles.

I tried using it with two different cars and had serious low rpm noise even when warm. Nothing like changing a filter in the auto parts store parking lot with the cheaper Purolator and not having a problem. Never bothered with it again.
Could be bad luck, failed engine or filter bypass, or a defective excessively restrictive filter
Didn't try to debug the filter issue any further than swapping and trashing it!

Where I live the Purolator Pure One is available only at Pep Boys and costs $5.99 + 8% sales tax .
A genuine Toyota oil filter costs $3.74 + 10% shipping and no sales tax if I order online. So I buy the Toyota oil filter, especially since I own a Toyota.

Same thing happened to me with the Bosch Premium..slooow rise in oil pressure at start-up and a warning beep on the dashquote:

Any more opinions on the PureOne before I switch. Teh K&N has worked fine for me, no probs on really cold starts or anything. I want a more efficient filter. Hopefully the PureOne flows better than the Mobil filter.
I have one question, can anyone explain when a filter goes to by-pass mode. Is this when flow is retricted and so the by pass valve opens up in the filter to allow flow?

Your description of why a by-pass valve opens is correct..as for the PureOne...never used one..the Mobil is a very well built filter...it just gave me a lag on my oil pressure gauge and a warning beep once in a while...using Purolater Premium Plus filter now...no more problems.
I've used 4 or 5 PureONE on Mazda 626 GT and seem fine but wouldn't use again in conjunction with Auto-Rx as maybe too restrictive?
