Mounting a filter sock?

[gregzz4]

Pat 3" is not an issue, you'll be fine with whatever you come up with
Just do yourself a favor and make it as easy to service as you can

The baffle after my filter sock tray is 1/4" below the trim and water has never touched the it. I once used mesh socks that plugged daily but the trim stayed dry.
I use felt socks. They don't plug and are 100% submerged

If you want some help, post a pic of your potential area

Kien, when is your birthday? I'm going to get you some new filter socks for it.

NEVER use a draw string, when it clogs your tank will overflow. Simply angle your downpipe towards the side of the sump and use it to hold the bag in place, or some of the other ideas noted earlier. dj

Wondering. Do you need a rack for filter socks or are the draw string ones just as good? Tie it around the drain pipe?
