Anyone have any good ways to clean the innovative marine filter socks? Im worried about breaking the black plastic in the washing machine. Any better ideas?

That's a great question. I noticed once the filter got clogged a bit it was near impossible to clean. Aside from using a power washer I'm interested to see if anyone has come up with a soulution.

Power washer might not be a bad idea!

Yeah I plan on using those but filet socks are so nice to get the water sparkling!

 

So I did the soak in water and bleach route and it worked great! Little more involvement that the washing machine but I think I can live with it.

Got the stand and door frame painted tonight! Need to finish sanding the top and seal it up. Progress is being made just slowly........
