Cleaning power heads

When using Vinegar top clean them. How do you mix with water 1 to 3 portions and so you run them?

I usally mix 50/50. I place them in a bucket and plug and run them for a while. Than scrub and run some more but mine was very over grown.

I disassemble them and put them into the acid, either straight vinegar or 1 part muriatic acid in 9 parts fresh water (which dissolves calcium carbonate deposits much faster than vinegar).

I’ve done straight vinegar and a 50/50. Both work.
