How To Clean a Filter Sock ?

[kien]

wow your sock lasts 5 days??? I clean my socks in the washing machine and they still only last me 3 days tops. I suppose it depends on the amount of flow through your sump as well.

Ya, I get that detergent skimmer phenomenon every so often. So now I manually rinse my socks after the laundry. Seems to help a bit.

My wife just loves it when I use her new Samsung washer to clean my slimy filter socks! I just run a quick cycle with a touch of bleach and an extra rinse and spin cycle, I can put them right in the sump after that because they're pretty much dry.

Yeah, about 5 days but don't forget that my total system volume is about 33 Gal !

I didn't use any detergent and I manually rinsed the sock after the washer and let it dry completely.
