replace the foam and carbon and let the stuff thats removeable soak in bleach and put some water with a little bleach in the other part with the pump
If there's a lot of lime scale on it, you can also use vinegar to dissolve the deposits. Vinegar rinses away easily and is tough on calcium carbonate.
not bleach
I am not fond of bleach, too hard to get it off later. Oxiclean is as good for sterilizing and rinses off better.
I prefer to start with vinegar, then move to CLR for lime deposits. Use a new toothbrush to scrub impeller and filter body, get a filter brush set to clean tubings. Get new sponges and carbon.
Let everything dry in the sun before using.
