• TRAPS LARGE PARTICLES - Our 200 micron mesh filter socks have an open weave pattern designed to trap ONLY larger particles, snails, fish and other items. 200 micron mesh socks are unlike 200 micron felt socks, which trap large to fine debris floating in the water. Trapping only larger particles means these socks will LAST LONGER AND NEED TO BE CLEANED LESS OFTEN than felt socks.

• HIGH QUALITY - Polypropylene fiber strands are woven into a specific pattern and are thermally bonded to create a STRONG, DURABLE MESH SCREEN, heavy duty stitching is then used to create a long lasting filter sock. THESE DO NOT FIT RED SEA FILTERS.

• EASY TO CLEAN AND REUSE - Our HEAVY DUTY MESH FILTER socks are constructed to be cleaned and reused many times. They can easily be rinsed in a sink, or for a more thorough cleaning, they are TOUGH ENOUGH TO BE CLEANED IN A WASHING MACHINE. Just follow our cleaning steps.

• SPECIALTY SOCKS - Mesh socks are for hobbyists who want to keep snails and other larger size items from entering their pumps and want to clean their filter socks less often. Since mesh socks do not trap fine debris from the water, it may be BEST TO ROTATE MESH SOCKS WITH FELT SOCKS to keep aquarium water crystal clear.

Help Keep Your Aquarium Clean and Healthier 

Our 200 micron MESH filter socks have an open weave pattern designed to ONLY trap larger particles, snails, fish and other items. 200 micron mesh socks are unlike 200 micron felt socks which trap large to fine debris floating in the water. Trapping only larger particles means these socks will last longer and need to be cleaned less often than felt socks.

Changing filter socks regularly increases water quality by removing collected solid organic compounds before they continue to break down and add additional nutrients (which can increase algae growth) to your aquarium water. 

Made From
