What I’ve experienced is the end caps to the drain trough are what actually plugs up with algae and other gunk. They just have small perforations to allow the water to drain while keeping the critters out. Ours are held on with 1/4” screws and silicone. Remove the screws. Carefully cut away the silicone then clean. If the trough is filling up with sediment you can run a hose in from the end cap.
