How to Clean Waterfall Pipes in a Pool

Pools with waterfalls need pipes to run the water from the pool up to the waterfall itself. Like other pool water this water is chlorinated, which keeps the water and the pipes the water runs through, clean. Since the pipes that carry the water into the pool are usually set in the ground, you are limited in what you can use to clean them with because anything you put in the pipes will end up in your pool water. Shocking your pool is a good way to clean the pipes in the waterfall because it increases the amount of chlorine in your pool. Does this Spark an idea?
