Cleaning PH's
 
To Steve:

Do you soak your pumps in vinegar, or actually run them in vinegar ?

I have been using a water-vinegar solution to clean my 802's, and found that while all the corraline and crud was removed, that the 0-rings got wrecked after while.

Anyone know where to get replacement 0-rings for the 802's ?

Does anyone else find that they have to periodically use vinegar-water solution in their SW make-up containers to remove build-up of calcified material ?

Thanks.

I take them appart and soak them, then after 30 min to 1 houe I use a bottle brush to take the crud off. then I run them in tap water to rinse them out good. the O-rings get cleaned by hand.

Steve, thats all my wife will give me. :lol:

I also remove the "O" rings on my powerheads and stream pumps before soaking.
