Hey guys! What micro size of filter sock should I get? And should I go with the felt, or mesh?
Thanks!

That's genius! Must make for easier cleaning aswell! Should I get the one that ties onto the drain? Or the plastic ring version?

Thats confusing. I have 200 micron felt and mesh. 200 micron is 200 micron. Only thing to note (at least on some mesh i got) is that the stitching looks to fray a little and when i pull the sock out, some caught junk squirts out the hole so will have to re sew them. I have mostly 200 micron socks and now and then will swap in 100 just for a little extra polish.

I used to use the soft socks from vertex they plugged up within 2 days and water was running over the top so I don't use them anymore I use the heavy ones I got from BRS I can go a week then water runs over the top then I clean it in the shower with shower head and turn it inside out to here is a week and it Is turned inside out

Were they Vertex 100, 200 or 300 Micron socks? I ask as per my post above. Most vertex socks I have come across are 100 micron. BRS socks are 200 micron. So that would make sense given the description you give.

So you guys saying to get a couple 200 micron and a 100 micro? That way I can get a majority of the stuff or without clogging with the 200, and then when I wash them, use the 100 micron to polish?
