A method for reducing the amount of cleaned water required in cleaning a particulate strainer using a reverse flow system is disclosed herein. The method includes the steps of: disposing a stationary cylindrical strainer in a first fluid flow to capture particulates against a first upstream surface of the strainer; positioning a single self-contained ultrasonic energy source within an inner region of the stationary cylindrical strainer defined by a downstream second surface the second surface permitting passage of a cleaned fluid flow; stopping the first flow; activating the ultrasonic energy source to dislodge particulates from the first surface; sending a reverse flow of the cleaned fluid flow through the second surface and through the first surface to evacuate the dislodged particulates from returning to the first surface; and restoring the passage of the first flow through the strainer.
