If you say you're comfortable disassembling it, go for it. I did it to mine during covid shutdown. Took all the parts that touch water apart, put them out in my driveway and hit them with soap and the pressure washer. There was a lot of mildew in tons of nooks and crannies. Mission accomplished in the end. Smell 100% gone.
