I just throw them in the wash no detergent on cold!!! works for me.
Change them approx every 3 days.

I toss mine in the wash with a dash of bleach, rinse 2 extra times just to be safe. Works great, I change mine about once a week.

Rotate four socks. Good hot rinse with a hose in the laundry sink, then they sit in a pail (moist) until I have three for the machine. One cycle in the washing machine with a little bleach and air dry. Works out it will be about a week before one goes back into the tank.

That's what I do too! Not to mention, what is a filter sock and where do you get them?

My socks are actually dollar store knee high nylon stockings that I stuff full of filter floss and hang it off the pipe in my sump

Is there something better out there that I don't know about?

These are filter socks - the filter effluent from the various pipes that enter a sump to keep the sump clean, and also to control micro bubbles.



The reason I sell them is becuase they are so effective. Other than my lumanarc reflectors, one of the best products dollor for dollar I have ever bought. I would recommend them to my own mother
