The filter sock holder will hold two filter socks to ensure efficient pre-filtering at higher flow rates.
When placing the socks, ensure that the plastic frame edge is flush against the holder so that the
water cannot bypass the sock.
To minimise any noise from the water flowing through the socks, place the sock silencers onto the
socks as shown.
