How to clean 5/16 check valve spouts

[DrTimPerkins]

My opinion (as I'm not experienced in research or have no real data only my observations) is that the weather last season and this season (both had very warm spells 60' plus) did not help prevent gunk formation.

Yup....gunk happens. The only thing we can do is to use the best sanitation practices possible to delay the formation and proliferation of microbes in the tubing system. Some years it works better than others. Once it gets above about 55 deg F, there isn't a lot that is going to help slow it down.
