Wow… thank you. I was using brand new each time.

They make small/portable washing machines for campers and apartments. I got one for about $90 if I recall correctly. Our local water was actually adding problems to my tank. I used to soak them in a bucket, hose them out and soak again in RO, but I finally figured out that our water was causing me multiple issues when I used it to clean my socks. Now I use the little machine that fits in my utility sink and can handle about four 4 inch socks at one. I put in some bleach and about four gallons of RO and run it for 15 minutes, then drain and add four more gallons of RO and run another cycle. It's amazing how bright and clean they come out despite the revolting water they are swirling around in. Then I hang them outside to dry in the sun and breeze. I suspect when I upgrade to an Infinia 215.5 with the seven inch socks that I might not be able to do four at once, but we'll see.

I appreciate the bucket idea instead of using a washing machine

Nice work guys ... thank you ... wow ...

Which you had an option to purchase a filter floss cup instead of the socks tbh.

Must have clean 🧦

I have a dedicated washing machine just for filter socks. 😉

I really wish they would show all the tanks and show how they are doing. I hear a lot of talking but no showing of the reefs. It would be a much better show if they show the actual tanks more

They only true way to clean these socks is to first soak for 1 hours in liquid pool chlorine, then add hydrogen peroxide to minx and cover for 12 hours (20:1 for the pool chlorine, then add 100:1 of h202 at 50%). This will dissolve all the organics out of the material so there will be no nutrients leaching back in from just washing or using chlorine on it's own (why do I have high nitrates and no phosphates?....hmmmm). BECARFUL, you are making weak mustard gas when you do this, outside with a a proper mask..... or just buy a roller mat.
