Ok stupid question but wonder what the micron rating of ladies stockings would be? The price of filter socks isnt exactly cheap even in bulk but dollar store stockings are about $1.50 a pair (honestly this idea came from girlfriend as well as all info on pricing and where to buy cheapies) and would be easy to use something like a 3X4" pvc reducer to make a holder for such a thing. Just a thought

Actually I think some people DO use ladies stockings - with great success. As far as knowing the micron rating (being someone who actually *wears* stockings...LOL) they differ too...IOW, it's not one set size as far as how loose or tight the mesh is. I think the more expensive stockings (like LEGGS) have a tighter mesh or micron than some of the cheaper ones. Don't know which ones would work best though, as I haven't tried this myself. :P

I use ladies stockings all the time to hold carbon, phosguard, etc. Not sure of the micron rating but they work great and I love the looks I get when going in to buy them.

To get the full effect ask them how this color would look on you and what color shoe it would go with. :lol

I also use stockings to help with bubbles and to filter the water but I have yet to actually buy them... I'm going to have to make a specific trip just see what looks I get. I might wear a hardhat and toolbelt just to see if that helps

Don't forget, the little flower on the garter goes to the front.

Much less Gator out there moving houses wearing who knows what. I think we got off topic.

I use stockings for holding filter media, from time to time.
