Huh? $20? They are way less than that and you can wash them out repeatedly before they wear out.

Filter socks should be about $10 each, and are fully reusable by washing in the washing machine without soaps. Probably your best bet for getting the jellies.

However, these bugs you're seeing sound like pods. There are many different kinds.

You can bleach filter socks too. You just have to dry thoroughly before use so the chlorine will off-gas.
