what is the proper mix when cleaning power heads and pumps?

100%.

Just don't clean using muratic acid that way.

You can also mix it with water. I do 50/50...and it works just as good as 100%, but I also run them for 24 hours in my garage sink in a bucket.

I'm always amazed at how awesome vinegar works at refurbishing equipment. In most cases the pumps or equipment work and look as good as new afterwards.

Even 10% works well. I like to fill a 5g bucket and run my dirty powerheads in the solution overnight.
