Custom filtration – forget about this phrase. It should be ‘custom filtering‘ or better ‘a custom filter option‘ because we normally do not want to see nouns derived from verbs by adding ‘ing’. The same goes for ‘saving’/restoring’, etc – it’s a save operation/option

We must avoid these phrases because ‘moment’ is a too narrow fraction of time state and it is an uncommon way to refer to time in English. Use: At present/Presently/Currently
