Sock or no sock

[Auqaman]

Hey everyone,
I was thinking about replacing the strainer basket with an other filter sock. I feel like the basket allows too much water to pass unfiltered. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Sock better catch all, though you’ll have to clean it more often.

Either go two socks or two baskets. Having one of each sorta diminishes the value of either one. If you have one sock, you still gotta clean it periodically, so you might as well have two.

Really comes down to a personal preference and how you manage your maintenance. I personally do not run socks because it means additional chores. Since you are voting I say no socks

Why? Because as already said you now have to swap them out, clean them, and add another thing to replace at some interval.

Thanks for all the great info. I suppose the back pressure created by having 2 socks wouldn’t really be noticeable
