Storm Debris in Hot Tub

A couple days ago, we had a storm blow through that blew the cover off the tub, and left some small branches and leaves in the bottom of the tub.
I turned the power off, and fished out what I could with a net until there was only some small pieces of leaves etc. I turned the tub on and it seems to be working fine.

I have a Lazyboy Relieve Hot Tub, built by Hyrdropool. There are two cylindrical filters off the skimmer. that I can remove to clean.
But where does debris captured by the floor drain, or side wall suction ports get captured/cleaned.

The filter.

Thanks ajw22.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I don't any other flow through the skimmer filter except from the skimmer.
What piping carries the floor drain water through the skimmer filter.

Where else would the floor drain and side wall suction go? All suction needs to go back to the same pump which would send it through the filter.

Dos your hot tub have separate pumps for the floor drain and side wall?
