Yup I have to clean my heater n power head every 5-6 w/c or they get nasty plus a good bucket hand scrub after every change

I've not been doing this long, but I find I get a good mix if the water is up to temp first. I stir it for a few minutes and leave it overnight with the heater and a powerhead
I don't get any residue in the NSW tank but clean it out anyway, including a quick wipe on the hardware with a scubbie sponge and a rinse with new RO
