It won't STICK to all those mineral deposits, either

Linking to the toilet-bowl cleaning thread, I'm actually
considering dumping the entire pump in a pool of muriatic
acid - but I'm plumb out of it at the moment.

I'll pick up four more gallons today of the HCl.

What do you think of me dumping the pool pump in it?
I don't see any metal in the pump body.

You might get by with the strainer and volute - nothing else. The
motor, bearings, and impeller gets mad about it.

Use an old Windex bottle / sprayer and brush the minerals off. Rinse.

No real need to run with the dark horses today, Danny.
