MP40 maintenance
What is a good maintenance plan for these. I know replacement parts ain't cheap, so I'd like to take care of mine. They are the es models if that makes a difference

My wet side get a vinegar bath once a month to keep the calcium build up from harming them, but I don't have the new es model.

I usually give my wetsides a vinegar bath every 5 or 6 months. I've had my MP40's for 3 years now and haven't had to replace any parts.
