Now is the time.. The bits of crud in the filter are a side show.
The real
problem causing you to stop are much larger flakes completley
blocking the
tank exit. You can blow them back into the tank but it is
very short lived..
I couldn't find any chemical I would be willing to put in the tank
that would
attack the chips. MEK didn't touch it... Roots used a good
coating.. But
it's bond to the metal is slowly failing..
I finally used quit a bit of
mechanical abrasion inside the tank
to get most out..
Good luck
