If you're trying to get rid of coralline algae or tube worms, it usually doesn't take more than an hour. If that isnt your goal, the vinegar isn't going to do much of anything and bleach may be a better choice (or hydrogen peroxide).

If you're just trying to kill algae, pests, ect. just soak in hot water for about ten minutes. The water from the faucet is plenty hot btw.
If you want the dead coraline off the pumps you can then soak in pure vinegar for about 10 minutes.
