I take mine apart about once a month for cleaning. About every three month's I'll place it in a 5 gal. bucket with water and vinegar (3:1) and let it run for an hour or so.

+2 I do that with my BM NAC7 as well.

I should probably order a backup pump for mine too. It's been running great for a long time (still using the original mesh wheel) but I hear plenty of bad stories about the atman pumps to not be prepared.

I wish I would of know that atman pump weren't that good It ran great then nothing I'm going to keep the pump and order a new wheel just to see if it's just the wheel. Im still waiting I payed for 3 day shipping but I tracked it and said it would be here today so 5 days not happy but tank looks great and everything is stable so I'm not that upset

Ive been thinking of ordering a second also but the only ones I find are the ones with the pinwheel. The SWC I have uses a modified mesh wheel. I guess It really doesn't matter in the long run
