Hair Nets for Skimmer Question

I've read that quite a few people use hair nets to cover their skimmer, helping prevent debris from getting to the pump and filter. My question is what type of hair net should I use? "Pool socks" look the have a a knit texture, but hair nets like that seem to have rather large holes. The other type of hair net appears to be a polypropylene material, but looks like the fibers are so close that it might impact the water flow through it.

Can anyone tell me what kind of hair net I should get?

Thanks,

Kelley
 
They should be spun polypropylene hairnets ... and never put the rock in the hairnet ... put the rock in the skimmer basket first and then cover the rock with the hairnet. That way, you never have to wash off the rock ;)
