Cleaning Pumps

I know white vinegar is used to clean coraline and barnacle buuildup on pumps.

but if you want to clean a pump covered in GHA would you use hydrogen peroxide? Or still stick with the white vinegar?

and would you turn it on in Hydrogen Peroxide and let it run a while?
or only in white vinegar?

Just brush it off with a tooth brush. You could soak it in a vinegar solution as well if you wanted to.
