I need to clean out the vanity/shower sump pump, float switches and containment boxes. As many Hatt owners know the access is not easy. Looking for advice for an easy solution. Thanks, PJ61

Fill it with vinegar and let it sit.

Re: sump pump cleaning
I have dropped a bromide tab in previously, but i like the noflex digestor idea. I'll have to try that. Also like the vinegar idea. Good feedback here as usual!

Distilled white vinegar. Run a lot through now, and pout down the drains on a regular basis.
Not sure which model the OP has, but on the 56my access to the aft and midship sumps is excellent.
UltraSafety Pumpswitches help too.George
