Hey guys I just finished my first hydro grow with an ebb and flow system but now I'm wondering how to properly clean and sterilize the system

soap/water to scrub dirt. bleach/water to sterilize, h2o2 rinse
Sounds good. I just use bleach and prescrub with Simple Green or algae slime killer (forget the name).

I posted to note that we don't want to use bleach and peroxide at the same time (I know you knew that).

Edit: I gave up on enzymes and now run a sterile bleach nute res (for mapito).

Edit2: Don't be a dummy (me) and not treat your pumps.

Thanks for the info guys I ended up washing with soap and water then sterilizing with bleach water solution and then neutralizing the bleach with H2o2 and then flushing with hot water I can't smell any bleach and Im sure it's property sterilized :)
