cleaning equipment...

Was wondering how you guys clean your equipment? How much vinegar do you use and do you let your pumps soak or turn them on while in the bath so to speak? Thanks.

I use pure vinegar and dont dilute at all. i just soak mine, not running

I think I heard it should be about a 1:4 ratio of vinegar to water. I pretty much just estimate it.I dont think it really matters too much as long as rinse them off enough. I usually just leave my PHs on in a bucket in this solution. Hopefully some more experienced people will chime in here also

I have gallons of Vinegar in my garage.
I run all my equipment fullbore in 100% No water.
I let them run for about 2-3 hours and then rinse them off.

Works VERY well, and I get 2 gallons of it at Sams Club, for $3 and some change.
