Nylon or polyester.

I tried to run my system without filter bags but i need the extra help. So i decided to go back to using filter bags. Which are better. to keep clean and wash better. How many microns do you use, 100,200,300.
How do you clean yours,
Bleach
or just water
Where can you buy bulk amount of filter bags.

I decided to order from
Filterbag.com
Great price but must buy 25 minimum.
I did alot of reading about nylon mesh and felt. Mesh got excellent reviews but I don't see it keeping the water as pristine as felt. So i went with felt bags. Another issue I had is since I upgraded from Atb 840v2 to a Atb 8.5 Deluxe. The skimmer did not fit in sump so I had to cut out a section of baffle before the filter sock area so I can sit the pump in that area. Now the 14" long filter bags are too long and sit on pump so I order 25 4" ring 8 " long 100 micro filterbags which should be perfect in the filter bag area. I know that these will probably clog up quicker since they are smaller, but with 25 to rotate as I use 3 at a time I should be good.
