How do you clean this thing? Just pump water through it?

i would pump apple cider vinegar and water through it, that should suffice. or even bleach and water, depends on what you use it for. mine works great.

I never got a chance to even use it, let alone clean it. Mine broke the first time I put batteries in it and turned it on. After that the on/off button broke. Sorry I couldn't help.

I don't know, the two (2) that I have bought have not lasted long enough to try and clean.

The motor is not loud, no you do not need to clean it just change the filters. You can hear the water trickling

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

I ran a good bit of warm soapy water through it several times and then did the same with clean water. I washed the outside of the pump as well.

make sure the intake is clear. mine gets algae and 'junk' in it and it need cleaning regularly.

I just spray it with some bleach solution or antibacterial cleaner like 409, let it sit a few minutes then rinse it with a hose.

I cleaned the pump and all connecting tubes with warm soap and water when I got it. I then pumped at least 3 gallons through it to sure it was rinsed out. It comes with plastic cleaning tools to help clean the inside of the tubes and pump. After it was cleaned initially I only clean it a few times a year, but I guess that is personal preference. I have had this for two years now and it still works great.

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

Wash it outside with the hose. Let air dry. Wash it inside in the bathtub or laundry sink. Let the water run through it and then let air dry.

I always put mine in a cup of soapy water and let it run for a minute, then rinsed and dried. It always seem to come clean. Hope this helps.

Hello. I experienced the same thing. I used a pipe cleaner wire to gently clean the groves/openings and ran hot water over it weekly. Mine just gave out after about a year. I could not find a way to open up the unit to clean the inside. I am not sure if I would purchase another one. Hope this helps. Take care.

Just use a damp cloth and if it gets extra dirty, use the hose on it.. It will clean up real nice..

Great Question :) So you just follow the instructions in the manual on how to clean it with water and it also comes with a cleaning brush to clean it with. Let me know if it has any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (Seller)

Sorry but I haven't cleaned it. I just turn it upside down and dump anything left in it out before I fill it up.

I use bleach water. Let it soak for a few minutes and then clean with soft brush.

It should be cleaned after each use to keep it from clogging. Removing it will make it easier. First push the button for espresso and then turn the dial to run water thru it. After that yup can remove it and rinse it if you see milk it it. Just hold it under your faucet or sprayer.
