(almost a)pro tip: Prefill your washer and add/mix bleach before adding socks. By pouring bleach directly onto the socks you are concentrating it on the sock and will weaken the material and may add to the amount of rinsing required. Love the videos, clean and clear presentation as always sir.
Thank you for sharing this information. One question though, does it matter whether they are washed inside out or not? I always flip mine prior to washing them. If it really doesn’t make a difference than I will just stop doing so.
Lol i was wondering the same thing even after i put them on the dryer at maximum the skimmer still goes crazy. Guess ill use some RODI water prior to putting on sump.

Nice. You could always ‘go ahead’ and pour in some ‘Prime’ de-chlorinator for the rinse cycle(s).
Nice! You could pull a RICO and get a small efficiency washer and dryer
I see you're a veteran! I am as well. Will be doing business with you!
I dont have a sump on my systems but I sure hope I could afford something clean like yours.
Holy F'n filter socks lol. I got to sneak to wash my 6. Would love to see my girlfriend's face if she opened up our washer and seen that many
Bring them to a laundromat, lol

Yah man I put them inside out, dry 'em out, shake em out, then power wash.

Are you worried about any heavy metals (Copper) from tap water used to wash the sock?
No worries but my town tds is low and the water is clean. If yours is high with dirty water you might want to hand wash with ro/di
what if I don't have a washing machine? Can I do this effectively by hand?I only have 1 filter sock to deal with. 15 gallon waterbed.
That bleach you used says it has color max technology.is that additives you wouldn’t want in the tank ?
That’s the same way I clean my socks. I just need to buy more
Where did you get the silencers from?
Do you have any ideas or advice on my skimmer going nuts every time I put a clean sock in I do the exact same thing you doing 🤷🏻♂️
clean them with ro/di water or at least your last wash and make sure you get all the bleach out
