I am new to filtering. In our current set up, we filter then carbonate in BBT. The pre filtered beer would have not been under pressure and only have residual CO2. I would like to add a little more top pressure to the beer and am wondering will this effect the filtering process.

Why? What are the differences?
The pressure I'm using with my plate and frame is relatively low compared to what I've seen utilized with a DE/slurry filter.
Prost!

I am using a filter pad grade of SG 7.0 for "polishing" of the beer. This will catch particles in the 5-7 micron range but will not provide any sterilization of the product: packaged products still will need constant refrigeration.
No, I have not used a sock filter but I have had very good results with the procedure of allowing the attenuated beer to sit around 32°F for several days before I attempt to filter with my plate and frame. Funny inversely proportionate relationship I've observed: the longer the beer sits in the fermenter cold, the shorter the filter time takes.
My two cents as your mileage may vary.
Prost!
