If I remember right a few years back we did a large group buy on filter socks. They were pretty cheap and I ended up getting like 10 of them. If you had a large "collection" of socks it wouldnt be as bad... then you could rotate them easier and then do one large load in the washer once you had enough that needed to be cleaned

+1 on all that !

I would like to see another big group buy on these... any ideas Kattz?(I think it was you who organized the last one)

Amstar · « **Reply #2 on:** January 03, 2012, 14:55:12 »

In the past we bought from www.filterbag.com I think we (as a club) bought 100 of them and with shipping it came out to less the 3 bucks a piece if I remember right.

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #3 on:** January 03, 2012, 15:52:11 »

i am in on a group buy for 10ish socks.

Boonjob · « **Reply #4 on:** January 03, 2012, 16:09:58 »

Yeah amstar, i am pretty sure that is the one i am recalling... I would be down for atleast 10 myself at that price.

The last two group buys that we did were done by me through a vendor I use to treat high-pressure waterjet return water. 4" X 11", 100 micron, about $2.25 each. If there is sufficient interest in 100 or more socks, I can get them at this price or perhaps a little lower. Because people said they would buy before and then bailed out without explanation, this will be prepaid only. I don't make any $ off of this deal.

I would be down for 10

Viggen · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2012, 20:45:47 »

That's s good price..... are they draw string or do that have the plastic round top?

best I could find is...
4x12in 200 micron round for $3 ea
7x12in 200 micron round for $5.40ea
4x16in 300 micron round for $3.14
7x16in 300 micron round for $3.88

If they are round & not draw string I would be up for 20 or so of them... could possibly do a few more if needed.....

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #8 on:** January 04, 2012, 20:47:47 »

I'm moving to the 7x16" size

kattz · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2012, 21:01:40 »

Viggen, they're just like mine - 4" plastic ring with a molded in handle. Paul, do you want me to get you a price for the 7 X 16 size, 100 micron, ring or drawstring?

Blown76Mav = 10
Viggen = 20
Boonjob = 10
Buckeyereefer = 10

Halfway there.

Who's next?

Viggen · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2012, 21:08:15 »

I will take 20 ..... possibly more

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2012, 21:26:13 »

Are these sewn or heat sealed

7x16's plastic ring 100 micron

kattz · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2012, 21:28:12 »

Seam is sewn, plastic ring collar is sewn.

Blown76mav · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2012, 21:40:42 »

If these are like the last ones, they hold up great. I wash the 10 I got about every 9 days. They haven't fallen apart or even fuzzed up. I'd just like more so I can go longer between washs and not waste as much water.

Boonjob · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2012, 22:27:39 »

I'll take 10

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #15 on:** January 05, 2012, 07:30:21 »

i am in for another 10

Reefpete · « **Reply #16 on:** January 06, 2012, 19:36:16 »

Sorry Kattz, but I can't use the collar type.

kattz · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2012, 20:15:31 »

I have to order a qty of 50 or so to get the drawstring type, Pete.

I think we're up to 50 of the collar type now. Paul, I asked about your big sock, they're checking.

Do the drawstring type come in the same sizes, and prices? Thanks again for your efforts on this Kev!

Let me know the price on the large ones. I'll get in if they can do them.

Split from the thread Filter socks Yes or No?

kattz · « **Reply #23 on:** January 09, 2012, 19:35:30 »

OK. Drawstring and 7" socks are available, but min qty for order is 50. Price on the current ones (4", 100 micron with collar) is $2.25 each. They have went up slightly from last buy.

Blown76Mav = 10
Viggen = 20
Boonjob = 10
Buckeyereefer = 10

So are there others that want the 7" filters?

kattz · « **Reply #25 on:** January 09, 2012, 23:31:35 »

nobody has said anything yet, but ill get the best price i can if we can get the order together

Kev

Just to clarify Kev, is it a min. of 50 of each type (drawstring, and collared) or 50 of either type?

Viggen · « **Reply #27 on:** January 10, 2012, 09:31:09 »

of each type is how I understood it

should we pass it on the another reef club to hopefully sell more? You could even add $.50 to $1.00 ea and give that money back to the club as a fundraiser.

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #28 on:** January 10, 2012, 10:37:07 »

Put me down for 10 of the 7" x 16" Filters

Boonjob · « **Reply #29 on:** January 10, 2012, 10:50:04 »

How much are the 7"? I may switch over to the drawstrings as oppossed to the collared.

kattz · « **Reply #30 on:** January 10, 2012, 14:57:38 »

50 is minimum of everything , price for current 4" socks will go up if only 50 ordered.

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #31 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:53:58 »

any new info on this ?

The WuSue · « **Reply #32 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:17:40 »

If this is still a go, put me down for 10 draw string 7inchers.

Just a thought: as people move to the calfo/beananimal overflow more folks will need the 7 inch draw string type. It might be a good idea to buy some for the club to sell to people as they need them, like we do with bulkheads.

Viggen · « **Reply #33 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:45:46 »

Any idea when this will go through? If not soon I need to order some elsewhere.....only having 4 socks is a PITA

Boonjob · « **Reply #34 on:** January 23, 2012, 10:17:08 »

If we do this, I would like the drawstrings... So please switch me from the collared to the drawstrings... same quanity.

kattz · « **Reply #35 on:** January 23, 2012, 18:58:58 »

Nothing has changed, we need a minimum buy of 50 of anything. Right now, I don't believe that we have it.

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #36 on:** January 23, 2012, 19:03:58 »

i will take at least 10 if not 20 of the 7" drawstring. they are soooo much easier to turn inside out for cleaning.

Kev

it looks like we have 50 for for the 4" but how will that effect the price? I could possibly do 20 if that helps that would bring the total to 60, plus Buckeyereefer's 10-20 would make 70-80.

Anyone else wanna up their order or add to this?

kattz · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2012, 22:52:51 »

The issue is that we don't have 50 for each type (4" w/ collar, 4" w/ drawstring, 7" with collar, etc.) The minimum quantity I can get is 50 of each type.

Viggen · « **Reply #39 on:** January 23, 2012, 23:10:14 »

I could probably use more of the 4in with colar.... any idea what number we have with those? I am sure if I would get 30-40 of them I would use them..... I hope to set my sump up to use 4 of them at a time

Oh I misunderstood, sorry. Thought it was 50 of any type minimum. Thats a game changer.

Boonjob · « **Reply #41 on:** January 24, 2012, 00:35:50 »

I could use 10 of each.

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #42 on:** January 24, 2012, 07:02:25 »

i would prefer the drawstring. but at these prices & the quality. i am flexible. maybe get a count of each style & see ?

The WuSue · « **Reply #43 on:** January 29, 2012, 13:51:09 »

So who is asking for how many of each and how many are we short?

Boonjob · « **Reply #44 on:** January 29, 2012, 14:31:28 »

10 of each for me.

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #45 on:** January 29, 2012, 14:35:07 »

would prefer 20 of drawstring
