How many times do you guys wash and reuse your filter socks before tossing them out?

 

[brich999]

till they rip or tear. i prefer a worn sock even though Im sure they dont catch as fine debris, cutz back changing from daily to every few days.

I can't believe I tossed mine out without cleaning them in the beginning. That would've become very expensive

I've been cleaning current ones for a couple months now. They're not THAT expensive so I think I'll try to get 3 months before replacing them.

I have some that have been washed dozens of times - like brich999 said, use them until they start to fall apart.

Yup. Rinse, switch out, repeat.

Whats the best way to clean them?
Ive been using hot water and bleach in the washer.

 

[kevinfleming21]

No! No bleach man. Use the "Clean Washer" cycle with nothing inn it to clean the washing machine first. Then throw the sock in and do a "Heavy Duty" cycle. Air Dry.
