    Anyone have any idea how long filter bags will last??? I have been using my 2 bags for about 6mo. I alternate them twice a week and just wash them in the washing machine with bleach only. Then let them air dry. They are 200 micron. I have seen really no wear on them at all. Do you use them until they fall apart? Or do they actually break down where it is not visible to the human eye?

    I just rinse and air dry mine every 2-3 wks. Ive had mine over a year,and they are not really showing any wear.
