[moonlightxpress825]

[ITALIANSAUSAGE]

i have 6 socks and change them every 5 to 7 days then wash them with bleach in the washer. seems to work pretty good

 

[alistair]

2-3 days washing in plain water

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Stopped buying new ones all the time and just washed them out.

 

[aaron23]

3 days and it overflows

 

[moonlightxpress825]

i rotate six of them...soak all of them in bleach for one day and put in washer for two rinse cycles..then soak in ro/di water for ten minutes to get out the chlorine smell

 

[rgun2515]

I use one for only a few days a month. Only on the days that I MIX things up...

The rest of the time I run the system without one.

 

[NDY]

I Change
Every Four to Five Days
Before It Overflows

 

[BHDMC]

Once a week.

 

[ECFENCING]

every four to five days....I have two sets of socks and I wash them with bleach and a second rinse cycle.....

 

[D1J8Z]

I BUY in bulk and throw out and use new ones

 

[bushh23]

Once it overflows (usually a week) then i put in the freshly washed ones and wash the dirty ones in bleach with an extra rinse cycle.

 

[the milkman]

i only use mine after a water change for a day maybe 2 . then i dont use them at all until next water change. they are nothing but nitrate holding facilities.

 

[jf2381]

I change mine every other day. I do this because I don't want any trapped food sitting in there decomposing for too long. I let them sit in bleach water for a few days then i run them through the washing machine's rinse cycle. They come out super clean.

I rotate 30 socks.

 

[JLAudio]

Does everyone who rinses use RODI? or could I just use bleach and tap water and let dry up?

When buying in bulk you are looking at about $2 a piece and replacing them weekly puts you at about $104 a year...not that bad when you think about it, you looking at $8 a month.


That reminds me, I have to order more socks.
