Filter sock makes skimmer go bizzerk

There might be some manufacturing chemical on new filter media socks,filter floss,pads etc.Temporary and most likely harmless.

Things have settled down now and all is good! Thanks

This always happens with my new-ish filter bags. Once I've washed then 8-10 times they don't do that anymore, bbut for the first several washings they do mess up the skimmer for a few minutes.

I have had the same thing happen to me as well now I just wash before I use them lol
