filter bags

Soi just put a filter bag on my drain that runs into my sump ,when does everyone wash there bags. I was thinking about letting it run for1 month and see how it turns out.

It will clog well before then. Even will a light bio load it will last a week tops before it needs to be cleaned. I use to use one, and after 3 days it was done. I don't use one anymore.

Filter socks, I've since ordered more sets, i have 4 sets and just ordered another 2.
I have 2 overflows and noticed my floors aren't even so 1 gets dirty faster than the other.
Every 3-4 days i need to change them as 1 is already overflowing.
I collect 3 sets let them soak in a cap full of bleach for a day then throw them in the washing machine and start all over.
