The most important thing to remember about mechanical media is that the smaller the pores, the faster the mechanical media clogs. To prevent build-up, mechanical media should be cleaned regularly, and replaced as necessary.
Mechanical filtration can greatly improve the health of most aquariums, and is also important for the efficiency of your biological filtration. The process is simple: mechanical media strains solid debris such as fish excrement, sludge, uneaten food, or dust from your aquarium as water passes through it where it can be easily removed and rinsed or replaced. This not only reduces the amount of solids in your water, it helps keep debris from reaching your biological media, building up, and creating dead spots where nitrifying bacteria can't reproduce.

Great design! Have used another brand and was not pleased. This one makes it very easy to install and to clean. After 1 day of using this I am going to order another for my other tank. Thanks!
Finally a filter sock that doesn't make the skimmer go crazy. I got the 7" model on my 90 BB SPS tank and it keeps the water super clean. And cleaning couldn't be easier. Just flip inside out and hose it out. Can't get much easier than that!
