Here is the detailed description

I believe these are the same ones most stores carry, about 4" diameter and 14" long, 100 micron. I actually think CapBay got theirs from here. They are about $2.75 each before shipping if you order 25 or more, which is about 1/2 price for most online/ebay retailers.

Anyone interested?

I am looking for 7-10.

BTW: I cannot vouch for quality or comment on shipping costs. THe site assures that theare only what actual freight costs.

What happen with those nylon filter socks I remember seeing about... Somone was testing them out here on ARC.

I would buy like 20 or so . I would like to try the other type as well.

Do they come in other sizes? I use 4x7 socks.

 

[derek_s]

They have 4 x 7-8 ones, but I think there is a charge if you mix types. It is nominal, like 2.00 I think. I will have to check.

 

[FutureInterest]

I'd be in for 4.

 

[kelleyga36]

I'll take 4

For real, now? So if I buy these and bring them to the meeting, all that said they wanted some will be prepared to pick them up (or make other arrangements)?

If I get stuck with any I will post a S-list of meanies.

 

[nickskains]

I would like to get a couple as well.

 

[weaglereefer]

I'd be in for 5 of the 4x7-8 ones, as they run $8 at the store here. I'd also cover the extra $2 nominal fee if it applies...

Derek,
Here is the link for the group buy I did on the nylon 4" 200 micron filter socks from filterbag.com. The pics in the first post on the thread are not from filterbag.com. They were an ebay purchase. The nylon mesh ones from filterbag.com use the same style plastic ring as the felt types.

Quality is great. The mesh ones are light years easier to clean than the felt ones. I'll never use felt bags again. Six mesh bags will last you for several years. I am still using just the first two I bought and they are as new. I have 7 still sitting unused.

Also, I got payment prior to ordering. Made it easier and you don't get stuck with a bunch of extras.

Good idea Dave. I remember your post, now.

So, everyone that posted interest, would you mind using the easier to clean mesh bags?

 

[nickskains]

Mesh would be ok with me. I had wanted to get a couple when Dave did his buy but didn't make it in time.

 

[chemically_balanced]

I'll be down for 3 nylon bags.

 

[sailfish]

I will take 6 mesh and can pay pal you a head of time.

Joe

 

[weaglereefer]

I would prefer the mesh over the others. I'd still be in for 5 of those.

 

[FutureInterest]

CHANGE!!! CHANGE!!!!

Alright fine I'll give the nylon ones a try. Put me down for 3 of em please.

 

[rostato]

I have one nylon sock and love it!
