Hello All,

I'm looking for help on how to remove/clean up the calcium that's starting to build up inside my powerheads?

Thanks

I usually take mine out and soak them in a bowl of vinegar & water, then I srub them with a soft brush or an old toothbrush, rinse well and good as new. :)
 
I pull mine and soak in vinegar after an initial cleaning. If possible break it down into parts and only soak the plastic. You can soak a whole power head but vinegar is a bit rough on rubber. I would not soak as long. I left plastic parts in vinegar overnight with no issues.

After soak carefull scrape and scrub, rinse and reassemble.
