I removed the clear bottom portion easily, but then had to undo the 15+ nuts and bolts that hold together the top grey sections. I marked the sides of the unit in 3 places to make sure I could reassemble it. The inside was fairly clean but a couple of the vortex cones were clogged with bradford pear fruit stems. A good blast of water from the hose was all it really needed. Possibly, you could merely unscrew the top union and spray a strong jet of water down into the unit and probably have similar results.<br \/>\nReassembly was a bit tricky because the o-rings that make it water tight tend to slip out of their slots. Below is a picture of the unit for those who may not be willing to disassemble their own.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.esearing.com\/pond\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/waterco-multicyclone-disass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.esearing.com\/pond\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/waterco-multicyclone-disass.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"waterco-multicyclone-disassembled\" width=\"498\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esearing.com\/pond\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/waterco-multicyclone-disass.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.esearing.com\/pond\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/waterco-multicyclone-disass-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is a schematic of all the parts.
