The filter bowl is removed and contains waste water that must be drained first before gaining access to the filter screen.
The waste water contains many particles of lint. You don't want to dump them down the drain with out capturing them or you just defeated the purpose of the filter.
It replaces the need for paper towel or coffee filters to be used when dumping the waste water out of the washing machine filter bowl saving you money and time.
The filter bag allows for the efficient draining of the filter bowl while capturing any lint that is contained in the waste water or that drops off of the filter.
The filter bag can be turned inside out once the water drains out for cleaning.
It has a loop sewn into it for convenient hanging for drying purposes.
It can be reused so it is better for the environment.
