If it cleans and prevents funk from growing in RO membranes why would it not work on these little pumps and lines.
It may work but I have to say I have never heard of someone cleaning their shurflo pump mid season before this thread. Changing strainer filters, yes. But I dont know if flushing the pump would make a large difference. I collected 2700 gallons last season with my shurflo pump and never once cleaned the pump outside of end of season cleaning.
