Skimmer Socks - Thoughts???

[CarlD]

Once a MONTH? I change mine daily. Of course, I get a lot of dog hair in the pool but even without the dogs, like a few days ago, I had something like a gazillion flying ants in there. Must have been a hatch. And during pollen season it got disgustingly full of yellow pasty gunk.

Changing the sock is part of my daily routine. I rinse it off with the hose, hang it over a fence post, and put another one in the basket. Once amonth? Man, you have CLEAN water!

I didn't say I CLEAN it once a month--I said I REPLACE it once a month. I CLEAN it every single day, and in late May early June twice a day (heavy pollen). After a month it gets pretty worn out and I throw it away. Why do you bother to dry it on the fence post?

It definitely cleans, but the pool was getting too high maintenance and as a busy mom I can't check this daily. I have a micron cartridge filter and my water was pretty clean without this, so I removed mine.
