Sundance filter sock

[Clarkp]

We have a new Sundance Aspen (new as of July of this year) and I'm having to replace the filter sock that covers the suction grate below the main cartridge filter.  The tub is 3 months old and the sock has been replaced twice (it's not covered under the warranty).  Is anyone else experiencing filter socks that disintegrate so quickly?

The TA ranges between 60 and 100
Calcium hardness between 100 and 130
pH between 7.2 to 7.4

 Lose it and don't look back. I am surprised your spa had it.  I thought they quit putting them on a few years back.
