Re: Filter Fabric


jojo,
Joe's right. Every lumber yard around here has it.
Rino might know a distributor near you. Are you near NJ? A. H. Harris is a big North East supplier. Try, ahharris.com. Or try ads-pipe.com or geotextile.com. They might have dealer locators and product information.

Re: Filter Fabric


We get our fabric from http://www.centralclayproducts.com/

They deal with sewer, water and road building materials.

Do you have a EPSCO near you ?? They would be good to check out too.

Re: Filter Fabric


Hey JOJO, Have you checked with Northeastern supply?

They have a location in East Petersburg, PA. I think this is in Lancaster county.

I use them sometimes for pipe and they are pretty competitive.
(well I get it from a branch down here) I do not know if they carry fabric or not.

Look them up http://www.northeastern.com

For comparison I pay like $40 or $50 for a 3' by 300' roll for a non woven light weight filter cloth.
