We had a wicked, but brief, storm blow through yesterday leaving a bunch of vegetation in the pool. I didn't realize the bulk of it was pine debris, only saw the leaves and branchlets. The good news is the Evo 614 IQ does fairly well with leaves. The bad news is Johnny ate a whole bunch of pine debris and now all the screens in his filter are coated in pine pitch. For the dog, I use peanut butter (he had a fair bit today, as well.) For us I use either canola oil or butter. For tools, generally use lighter fluid. I'm at a loss for what to use on the filter. Thinking the canola oil then possibly soaking it in dish soap followed by a good rinse?

Thoughts?
