Soak the airstones in a solution of warm water and bleach for about 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
What should I do if water gets into the pump?
Immediately unplug the pump and allow it to dry completely before attempting to use it again. Consider replacing the pump if the water damage is severe.
