I just use bleach and prescrub with Simple Green or algae slime killer (forget the name). I posted to note that we don't want to use bleach and peroxide at the same time (I know you knew that). Edit: I gave up on enzymes and now run a sterile bleach nute res (for mapito). Edit2: Don't be a dummy (me) and not treat your pumps. Last edited: Mar 2, 2017

Cody666 Member Mar 4, 2017 #4 Thanks for the info guys I ended up washing with soap and water then sterilizing with bleach water solution and then neutralizing the bleach with H2o2 and then flushing with hot water I can't smell any bleach and Im sure it's property sterilized
