Any strainer, however, no matter w^bat kind or shape, must be cleaned once in a while. There are two ways of cleaning the Skinner System Union. If there is no heavy accumulation of dirt, all that is necessary is to turn off the water, take off the cap at the bottom of the turning handle, turn on the water again and it will wash off the strainer, car- rying the dirt to the end of the union handle.
