LOL... too funny 1gallon of water to 1 cup vinegar. Let power head run in it over night and it will be as clean as new. I have done this to a few power heads in my time always works. I run them in a 5g pail with the mixture but I dubble it IO bucket work very good and you can seal it after use for the next time.

I'm lucky mine never get that bad. My mexican turbo snails jump on my powerheads every few days or so and clean them up for me
