Best thing to clean filter socks

[craigwmiller]

I'm doing hydrogen peroxide also. (much stronger than chlorine)


- dry sock completely (H2O2 reacts with non-pure-water, you want this just not yet)
- Soak in a small pail (I use a 2 gallon margarine container, soak it for an hour, about 1/4 cup per sock, or 1/2 for 3-4 socks)
- rince with HOT tap water (I turn inside out during rinse)


that's it. H2O2 reacts and disolves to water and oxygen when all is done and rinsed/etc -- nothing harmful to go back into the tank!! no risk of chlorine nor possibilities of fabric softeners LOL

I rinse them (inside out) out as much waste as possible with tap water first than dry them. I soak few socks at a time but I leave it for a day or 2 (lazy ). Rinse under hot water and air dry. Costco has packs of 4x500ml for $3.50
