So far, everything has gone well; the product does exactly what it says it will. It was simple to set up and collected a lot of dog hair and other small particles. Based on the pressure in my DE filter, there was no discernible difference in water flow. I did use a small rock to weigh down the center, which created a small cone in which all of the debris was collected. I'm not sure you need to do that, but I read somewhere that some people had issues with things floating back into the pool, so it seemed like a good idea. This actually worked well because all of the debris was caught at the bottom of the sock in the cone, making it simple to clean and reuse if you took the time to do so. I used this one for about 4 weeks and did not notice any material degradation, so it could have easily been re-used. used; How long do you think it will take? I'm not sure, so I just swapped it out. So I'd say they do what they say they do, and I'd buy them again in a year or so when I'm done with them.
My water is crystal clear, and in nearly three months, I've only backwashed twice. br>IMPORTANT NOTE - If your pool isn't enclosed or screened in, you'll need to hose the sock off once or twice a day, especially if you have a lot of insects diving into it. So if you're going on vacation and no one is available to clean the basket, I wouldn't recommend it.
It works perfectly, and each sock can last for several weeks if properly cared for. Has reduced my filter problems by 100%. Grabs anything that slipped past my skimmer basket in the past. It was simple to cover the cost of my turbo skimmer upgrade, and it had no effect on my in-home filtration system. Regardless of the ground pool pump. A fantastic item!.
I showed this to my pool guy, and he's now installing them in the pools of his other clients; he likes it even more than I do! You'll thank me if you buy it.
These were purchased to strain sand and proved to be very effective. THEIR best achievement was lowering the water flow through my aquarium's water filter. It's fantastic; it works well, stays put, and prevents my baby fish from being blown away by the water flow. They were a lifesaver for my baby fish, despite the fact that this is not what they were designed for.
I bought these because we have a few trees that drop seeds that don't get caught in the regular strainer basket and end up back in the pool after passing through the filter! These trap all of the smaller debris, allowing the water to remain clear. It's incredible how much they pick up on! They're simple to put on and can be worn again and again. able to be used for at least a few months.
These were not made to last the entire day. Very let down.
I couldn't wait to try it out! However, it clogs my skimmer, making suction impossible. I bought another brand, which had a slower suction but worked fine, but these did not work at all, so I was disappointed.
