Carriff’s Drainage Filter Sock™ is a key innovation in managing water for outdoor sports and recreational areas. This product, for nearly 50 years on the market, uses advanced circular knitting technology and high-quality materials to ensure optimal drainage performance. It’s designed to maintain dry and even surfaces in sports fields, playgrounds, and golf courses under various weather conditions. The Drainage Filter Sock™ not only extends the usable time of recreational spaces post-rain or snow but also plays a crucial role in preserving ground health by preventing sediment and roots from damaging your drainage system while also reducing waterlogging and soil compaction. Its ease of installation and maintenance efficiency make it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, from backyard drainage to professional sports facilities.

Our 100% polyester Sock ™ filters are available to fit pipe diameters ranging from 2″ to 48″ (50 mm to 1200 mm) and are designed to work with all perforated drainage pipes, including corrugated HDPE, steel, aluminum, and PVC pipes.
Our most popular Sock™ is the 4″ filter, which comes in Regular and XL sizes. The 4″ XL filter, while designed for 4″ diameter pipes, is slightly larger in size than the regular 4” filter, making it easier to apply and as a result is less susceptible to damage during normal handling and installation.
Most Sock™ filters are available as either white or black fabric. Black fabrics provide enhanced resistance to degradation from UV radiation, in the event of prolonged outdoor storage prior to installation.
All of our Drainage Filter Socks™ are designed to meet or exceed the performance criteria defined by ASTM Standard D6707-06 (2019): Standard Specification for Circular-Knit Geotextile Fabric for Use in Subsurface Drainage Applications. Sock™ filters are defined as Type A fabrics and Super Sock™ filters are defined as Type H fabrics under ASTM D6707-06 (2019). The table below shows how our filters compare to the ASTM criteria for Type A and Type H fabrics.
Criterion | Type A value | Sock™ value | Type H value | Super Sock™ value |
Permittivity | Min: 2.4sec-1 | 4.5sec-1 | Min: 2.75sec-1 | 2.75sec-1 – 5.00sec-1 |
Apparent Opening Size | Max: 0.600 mm | 0.600 mm | Max: 0.425 mm | 0.250 mm – 0.425 mm |
Puncture Resistance | Min: 800 N | 1000 N | Min: 800 N | 925 N – 1400 N |
*In addition to the criteria above, we manufacture and test our Sock™ and Super Sock™ filters to meet several other standards. Please review our Product Performance Data Sheets for Sock™ and Super Sock™ filters for more information.
