Simplicity Felt Filter Sock with Plastic Ring

The Simplicity Felt Filter Sock with Plastic Ring is a cost-effective and easy-to-use form of mechanical filtration that improves water clarity by trapping floating debris in the water column.

• Reduces organic waste by removing excess food, detritus, and other waste
• Prevents sand, crabs, snails, and other large debris from damaging pumps
• Reduces maintenance on skimmers and other filters
• Made in the USA

Filter Sock Material Types

• Felt Filter Socks: Made from a thicker, non-woven material that is superior at removing finer particles in the water column and trapping micro-bubbles. Due to their thicker material, felt socks clog faster and are more difficult to clean.
• Mesh Filter Socks: Made from a thinner, woven material that is good for removing larger particles in the water column. Due to their thinner material, mesh socks don’t clog as quickly and are easier to clean; however, they will not remove as many particles from the water column.

Filter Sock Styles

• Plastic Ring: Attaches via a round ring that fits most standard sump holders
• Drawstring: Attaches directly to plumbing 

Cleaning Options

• Turn the socks inside out and place them in the washing machine

• Dry thoroughly (drying completely removes any remaining bleach from the sock)
