Cut the pipe and invert a union or union valve so you can remove the pump for maintenance.

Is it attached with a barb fitting like this https://www.google.com/search?biw=19....0.wRrV3UEVPZQ ? If so just cut power and pull it off. Run it in an RODI/Vinegar solution for 30-60 minutes. If you really want you can take it apart and clean the impeller but that's not required.
