Thank you so much taking the time to write all that, its truly useful information… I would have completely overlooked the no rinse stuff for fear it was a sales gimmick.

I think I’ll probably hose wash down every season, foam it If the water coming off has anything in it and save the teardown for 5-year or special event.

There’s not really much here in the way of sand or dust. It’s mounted off the ground. The hose should be able to get smoke particulate and pollen off.

Thanks again.
