Does anyone know what this mesh looking filter is called and ideas where I can get a replacement? It is 6 3/4 wide and 12 in long. Water from a floor vacuum passes through it then returns to the pool. I’ve searched but can’t seem to find anything... but doesn’t help that I don’t know what it’s called!D91611AF-EDD1-436B-9C88-7379F50309E0.jpeg8C31ADFE-EA76-4E01-B083-5BCF7AFE08D5.jpeg
 
Frank, from what I could find it's just called a mesh filter bag. I googled "pool vacuum mesh filter bags"..You can search your vacuum's brand and model number for replacement parts....I've included some pics from different models I found on the web.....Hope this helps!
The schematic and first bag pic are from a Pentair..The second bag is from a Polaris Caretaker.

Thanks! Appreciate the input. I’m not really sure on brand and model of vacuum. Pool was installed by previous owner and don’t have info on it.
Maybe just my lack of knowledge on this, but the one I have is a thicker, not-so-flimsy mesh. All the ones I’ve found are more like a mesh netting. Maybe that’s how it is supposed to be and mine is just really old!
