This is also a pool installation. Now that I'm looking around,
I see it might be called, cleverly enough, pool deck drain stips.

This stuff is old. I really don't think I'll be messing with
it until I'm sure I have a replacement.

That's what I've been doing, and it's really a waste of time and
water. Yes, the water drives out the dirt, and being a drain
it all whooshes right back in. I do my best to hose the dirt
away so it doesn't wash back in but it's like thumb wrestling
jello. Very unsatisfactory.
