The Miracle Tank

[brett_schn]

My filter sock is overflowing. I just cleaned it with a high pressure hose. Is it dirty and that’s why it’s over flowing? What’s the best way to clean without a washing machine

Grab some biscuits and gravy. Squirrel should be cooked ok. If not throw in a pan with some butter and finish him off. Nothing like some squirrel and biscuits for a good breakfast.

I am thinking instafried, just need bread, sauce and fries! ;)

What micron and how much flow? Also, turn inside out and pressure wash it with the hose. Your tank being new and sand dust will clog one up quick.

Go back to the 1830's and try a washboard XD it sounds ridiculous, but that's how I clean the snake poo off of their tank mats since I don't really like washing my clothes in excrement. Don't see why it won't work for a filter sock!

I guess fabric. 200 micron

I flipped it inside out yesterday and sprayed the crap out of it lol. It’s been fine for a week just yesterday it clogged up

Clogged in a day, even after washing? As in, you washed yesterday and it was clogged again today? Or fine now and you just wondering?

That's normal if it clogs up after a week. I always wash my socks once a week.

I can’t wait for squirrel season to open up. Been feeding the ones around here all year long. They are healthy lol.

Nothing like “fried tree rat”!

It was clogged after about 8 hours after I sprayed it out and let dry
