Pump & Equipment Cleaner

Citric Acid is a gentle, natural acid ideal for cleaning your pumps, powerheads, and other equipment prone to calcium and mineral buildup. Unlike other harsh chemical cleaners, it’s safe, effective, and biodegradable, perfect for reefers looking for a clean system without the risk of residue or damage. Just soak, rinse, and you’re set.

Instructions (1 Litre Solution)

Add 2 scoops (40 grams total) of Citric Acid to 1 litre of RODI water. Stir until fully dissolved. Use the solution with a squirt bottle and brush to clean aquarium equipment. For tougher deposits like coralline algae, soak equipment in the solution for 1–2 hours. After cleaning, dispose of the used solution and rinse all equipment thoroughly with RODI water before placing it back into your aquarium.

Note: For external use only. Do not add citric acid directly to your aquarium.
