Skimmer Sock or Panty Hose in Pump Basket?

[Shifty]

@ Waterbear: Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I was afraid of happening.

Do you have any other suggestions how I can trap vacuumed debris before it gets to the filter?


@ Anna:I can't follow your approach with the skimmer sock since I need to remove the skimmer basket to insert the hose.

Any ideas are appreciated since vacuuming multiple times per week has gotten old very quickly.
