Tip: To clean your pump once it starts clogging up (which will slow down the flow rate)  simply take out the cartridge & run the brush included through the middle. This will get rid of the gunge & speed things up to as good as new. When the life of the cartridge is nearly over, a safety indicator will appear in the form of a change in colour.
