When I need to "clean" it I just turn off the return pump, remove the pipe with filter sock attached, turn it inside out and remove any snails that I want to keep and replace it with a clean one. I run the dirty bag through the washer with no soap, and let it hang dry. I din't fix the sock more permanently to the pipe because I figured if the sock becomes badly clogged with dirt the inflow may slide it off the pipe and not cause a flood. I clean it monthly and it hasn't been close to clogged to the point of not allowing water flow. I cleaned my canister one time in the past 2 months and it had very little dirt compared to what the sock collects.
