It's pretty easy you just take it apart piece by piece and use a q tip for inside.

Ok. That my question, how do you take it apart? There’s no screws like any other return pumps lol. Don’t want to break it by prying it the wrong way.
 
Got it, needs to be twisted. Be nice if that includes in the manual lol
 
If it's the same as my 326 gph... The base plate slides off, I think towards the back. Then twist the front part off. Take impellor out and scrub. I also pulled off the impeller fin from the shaft as there was a lot of dirt under it.
