Mine are hidden nicely under some rock and I don't want to have to disturb that if possible.

And I should have turned off the CL pumps when feeding (learning the hard way) so they now have a bunch of food particles stuck to them.

Wondering if anybody came up with a way to backwash them to blow out the crud without having to take them out? Not a lot of pressure, just enough to dislodge particles stuck in the screen.
