So I can obviously turn off the pump and drain the loop, but whats the best way to dissolve all the sponge and still be able to clear it out and be safe to turn back on once done?

I was thinking vinegar, but Im not sure of what concentration to use since the loop is about 10 gallons of piping.
I would use vinegar and start off with as little as you can do you have a way to flush it out so it wont feed in to the tank?
