Can you use second hand aquarium filters and pumps, and how do you clean them?

Yes — second hand aquarium filters and pumps are perfectly fine to reuse once cleaned. Wash fabric parts on a hot wash, wipe hard surfaces with pet-safe disinfectant, rinse thoroughly and dry completely before use. If the previous pet had fleas the seller must say so; a hot wash plus a household flea treatment deals with it. Check any straps, clips, zips and joints for wear before first use.
