i would either dip it in alcohol or boil it for a few mins. But if you dip in alcohol rinse it with vinegar then give it a good hot water bath and run it in the hot water for a few mins.
That's what i would do. My 2 cents. :-) |

I wouldn't boil a powerhead, and alcohol is more expensive than bleach. The bleach will kill any parasites at that ratio. I would do exactly as you said. Just make sure to use plain unscented bleach and rinse/dry until bleach smell is completely gone.
