As it was a 4" diameter filter sock with a plastic ring or collar I had to remove the DIY spray bar and just fit a short bit of 3" pressure pipe in it's place then jubilee clip the smaller finer filter socks 1 at a time to the end of that as the 200 and 400 micron socks are much longer and wider.

    I did think about putting a filter sock into the skimmer but thought I'd have an issue with them blocking and then possibly locking the pump. Then to unlock the pump I would have to turn it off (unplug it) for at least 2 minutes to reset it. Most pumps now have a lockout that cuts in of the pump starts to run dry to save burning them out. So apart from just locking it out if the sock blocked I was more concerned of as it blocks it would slowly start to starve the pump which may be enough to keep the pump running without locking it and as a result cause it to cavitate which isn't good for any water pump.

    Hope that makes sense?
    Cheers, makes sense now What are any of you using as a successful pre filter for a pump fed Eazy Pod?
