How do you clean your wine filter?

I filtered my first wine, but what do you do to clean the filter?

Thx
 
A blast from the past. Where have you been hiding? What kind of filter is it? Are you just cleaning the filter and throwing the pad away?
 
Wipe the machine down with a clean cloth soaked in sanitizer. I used to throw the plates and hoses in a bucket with oxy clean or what ever cleaner you use. Then rinse well and set out to dry. Before soaking the hoses and afterwards I aways rinsed warm water through them. I could do this using my bottle washer attached to my spigot.
 
I put hoses and plates in dishwasher and run K Meta solution though the pump. If it gets any nastier I am putting the whole thing in the dishwasher.
 
Rinse the plates let air dry - run water through the pump.

Before i use i run k-meta thru the pump - add the pads and run acilidated solution through the pump and pads.
