I used my first diy sock for a week.
The ring using rigid tubing is too flimsy for a 6" sock (ring needs to be 7" diameter), so I just used the ring from my old filter sock, and attached a new diy sock to it using zip ties. This is a way better setup if you have an old sock with a plastic ring to use.
this is what the sock looked like after using for a week. I think it works really well. I am just tossing used socks out. That was the whole point I went with DIY. No more washing of filter socks.
I'm going to make the sock length 12" on my next batch. This way I can make 12 socks per yard instead of 8. less than 21 cents per sock.
