Hot water would be better choice.

i have try using vinegar to get rid of coraline algae and it works perfectly. But do remember to soak, pour and resoak in clean water to get rid of the vinegar

Thank for the reply, so that means its possible to use vinegar as long as I rinse thoroughly with water.

Sometimes you'll see the plastic on the equipment deform by the hot water, good try mins

just to be on the safe side, use those colorless artificial vinegar (Acetate acid), they are colorless, instead of the Apple cidar type.

Artificial vinegar are sometimes use by aquarist in thier kalk drip, so its relatively safe

depends what you wanan clean also... people tend to use vinegar when they want to get rid of some calcification or calcium build up if I'm not wrong...

hot water won't do anything to clean calium build up...
