30-Pack of Pool Skimmer Socks, Ultra Fine Mesh Filter Sock Net for Skimmer Baskets, Skimmers Cleans Debris and Leaves for In-Ground and Above Ground Pools

I own a Ridgid shop vac that holds 6 gallons. These pool skimmer filters will stretch over the ridgid filter and catch the majority of the debris that would otherwise clog the ridgid filter's pleats. These pool skimmer filters make the ridgid filter much easier to clean and last much longer, allowing you to save money by not having to replace it as frequently.

Yes, they prevent a lot of debris from entering your filters. It reduces the amount of time you have to clean them.

These are intended for use in a pool skimmer basket to keep medium and large debris out of the pump. This is a long way from the pool filter. The effectiveness of the hot tub filter may be harmed if it is covered. Because you might be blocking the actual filtration, your hot tub could become dirtier rather than cleaner.

They do, in fact. You must keep an eye on them to ensure that they do not obstruct the flow of water to your pump. If your pool is dirty, this can happen on a regular basis. I have two filter baskets that I rotate on a regular basis. Remove the sock, rinse it thoroughly, and reuse it as needed.
