Wanted to post what I made. Nothing special just a screened box to clean my hydroton in it. This is a dedicated bathroom to my grow and I have the exhaust air going into this room then out the window so it gets warm in it.
After trying to clean the hydroton a couple of different ways I found out this works best for me. I leave the hydroton in the box to dry out all of the plant material stuck to the hydroton. After it is dry you roll it around with your hands to get the waste to fall through the screen. It actually feels good on your hands doing this. Then rinse the hydroton off to give it a final rinse. I will either let it dry there and store it in a clean box or it will go into a bucket that has holes in the bottom to finish drying. Eventually I will put a short garden hose on the shower head so I dont have a big hose laying around.
