Anyone interested in custom Filter Socks?

I used to make these a while back when i had a sump, but after i moved due to certain situations i couldnt include a sump in my set up until now. So, i have started to add filter socks to my return lines and to other sources of water output and thought to myself as i was fabricating them, "maybe i can make more of these and sell them". They would be MUCH cheaper than buying them at the LFS, and i can use a variety of materials.

So im just posting here to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing any. I dont have any prices yet, until i see if anyone would even be interested. I have access to top quality sewing machines a couple times a week where i work and the output of the quality of the product (the filter socks) were very high. High quality stitching and any design is possible.

I have made about 5-6 today just to test it out and i needed some for myself anyways so i will try to post some pictures tonight when i get home for you all to see. I can make any size, any design (for those of you with unique set ups). I can use a variety of materials and densities. For example, today, i made a small sock to fit over my return line out of 100 micron material, in that sock i make a smaller sock out of filter floss to fit nested inside of the 100 micron sock so as not to clog up the 100 micron as fast.

The possibilites are only limited by your needs, recomendations, and ideas. Thanks!

-John
