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
