I only used filter sock for a couple of times. Abandoned it. It clogged so easily and too much trouble to keep clean. Instead, I use a cut out 3"x3" filter pad. Clean it every other day; it's easy to clean. Throw away after several uses. It's cheap! (Yeah, I place the 3"x3" filter pad on top of the media/filter basket in the return chamber)

Just cut many 3"x3" pads

I considered this option however, I don't like the idea of creating so much waste so I opted for the filter socks.
