Home made dispersion/solution with detectable >0.1μm particles
Try to get some clay and shake it vigorously with water. Let it settle for a several hours. Test your filter with the supernatant water and collect the filtrate in a very clean glass tumbler. Colloids have an interesting property of scattering light. In a dark room, try to shine light (ordinary flashlight might work or perhaps an ordinary pointer used in presentations/offices). Be careful, never ever look at the pointer directly. Look at the filtrate at $90^o$ (right angles to the light beam), if you see a light beam travelling in water, it means that colloidal particles are seeping through the filtrate and the filter is damaged.
