Cleaning Pumps
I asked a few days ago how to clean pumps, and I got the response that vinegar and water does it. Now the question is what type of vinegar do I use??? There are a million types.

The brand doesn't matter as long as it is the white distilled like mentioned above.

The Vinegar is used to remove (melt) any corraline algae that may have accumulated.
