I bought two 8 packs of 4"x8" felt filter socks made by "Encompass All" via Amazon and they completely disintegrated into felt tufts the first time I washed them. I washed them with warm water and a cup of bleach (as I've always done with felt socks). Thankfully, I had 2 quality filter socks that came with the sump in the load as well which serve as a control - they were fine after washing. Only this brand of sock totally disintegrated on first washing. Please be careful and avoid these!
Additionally, they came with some kind of horrible chemical residue on them which caused my skimmer to go crazy the first time I used new ones directly. This was why I went back and washed both the clean and new ones, only to see them all disintegrate.
Please spread the word and be careful with no-name brand products
