COR-20 cleaning

I did a lot more maintenance yesterday in preparation for being out of town over the holidays. Thankfully I have a house sitter/tank sitter/dog sitter arranged for the two weeks we'll be out of the country, but I also wanted to make sure all major components are in top working condition before I leave. Last weekend I did a complete breakdown and cleaning on the skimmer. Today, I did the same for my Neptune COR-20 return pump.

The COR-20 was not nearly as dirty as the skimmer. It goes to show how much detritus is captured by the foam filter between the skimmer chamber and the return chamber.

This pump was very easy to clean. It has mostly smooth surfaces with very few tight spaces to get into with the toothbrush, and with just 4 screws the disassembly and assembly is simple.
