All this talk of extra laundry, bleach, sewing and attempting to turn filthy filter socks inside out just convinces me to carry on going barefoot.....er I mean sockless on my sump

I have 4 socks, each will last about a week. Takes maybe 3 minutes to rinse them in the laundry sink, then I place in a pail. When I have 3 to wash, make sure the washing machine's soap and softener trays are clean then in with a little with bleach on regular cycle.

As I'm not sitting there watching the machine go around, that's maybe a extra 15 minutes a month on my tank to have socks.

Hmm, the plastic ring around the ones I have also have little handles on the inside, makes it a pain to flip them inside out. Maybe i'll cut the handles out and try it again.

Letting them soak while I pile up enough for a laundry also sounds like a good idea. Thanks folks!
