Dirty pipes

[hcoop]

After taking my return pump off to clean it I thought to shine a flashlight in my return pipe. I was amazed. Is there any way to clean this out without disassembling all of my pipes?

Soak in vinegar water solution and run a pump while doing it...how I cleaned my pipes

You can clean them if you want, but as long as flow isn’t impacted not a big deal. Lots of things build up schmutz.

I have a long pipe cleaner snake/squeegee thing. I've used it once. Works ok.

Thanks guys. I’m going disassemble and clean them with vinegar and pipe brushes. I’m not sure that it hurts being a little dirty but it’ll give me a piece of mind.
