I am really getting tired of cleaning the quilt batting under the water from my filter in triple digits temps. I know my filter is truly not big enough for the job I am expecting it to do. I have been changing the batting 2X/day and even that is not enough. It takes time, of course to spray the gunk and stuff off of the batting. I will hang it on the fence to dry in the sun, but turn around and it needs to be changed out of the basket again. Today we went to Rural King...sort of like Fleet Farm.. I found the picture below. I am wondering if I cut a few layers and stack them, if they would catch enough but also be easier to rinse out. The rectangle is about 24" by 30". The backside has a mesh backing. I have a picture of the label attached as well. It is used for AC and heating and states it is washable. It is synthetic and about 1/2-5/8" thick and ran $4.99. It currently smells like plastic so I am hosing it down and then airing it out a number of times b4 I attempt to use it. I do have nylon scrubbies and rectangle scrubbie pads in my filter all in 2 fabric mesh laundry bags and occasionally I also spray those down as well. What do you think? I hope to research a bit closer the manufacurer and possibly call them on Monday to see if they can tell me just what the stuff is made of and if there would be any issues w using it as a final filter in a goldfish pond. TIA in advance.
