Hi Edith,
You need a bottle brush with the long flexible handle.
Drain and disconnect the hoses and shove the brush through
them. That will shove the snails out the other end and
can also remove any snail eggs that are on the insides of
the tubes. Many pet stores have them forsale, and a few
hardware stores as well.
