Hi all As the title says I love it for all its pulling from the water column and have come to hate the cleaning.
Currently I pull it out into a bucket and hit the utility sink with a clean rag and RO water to clean it up. I don’t think there are any magic tricks to make it a slightly less unpleasant task but if anyone can recommend a tool or technique other than a clean rag it would be appreciated.
I had a brush but even rinsing the heck out of it left a stink on it the boss didn’t like near laundry space
Thanks for any tips

TBH, I just use my hand and then wash my hands really well with Dawn dish soap when I am done. I found it to be easier and faster than using a rag.
