If you prefer disposable, a 4-pack of the disposable sand/silt bag for the 380, 280, and 180 models is part #G45. Apparently, there are no disposable sand/silt bags for the 360 and there're ONLY disposables for the 180.

Another thought is to use skimmer socks (aka debris shields). Even though most of your sand settles to the bottom, there's always some that's floating around. I know from experience that the socks have trapped out a whole lot of debris that I thought was too big/heavy to have been caught by the skimmers.

Hope that helps.

I'm getting the sand/silt bag and I hope that takes care of it. I appreciate the help. I now have a paint problem though which is much more difficult than my sand problem.
