Vic,
I have the Glenmark pump, which consists of two check valves for each
reservoir. They are removable and can be disassembled, cleaned and the
"O" ring replaced. This should resolve any contamination problems you
run into. I highly recommend that you perform this procedure on a
regular basis, as the "O" rings tend to soften, degrade and allow air
into the system.

My guess is that Acetone would do the job.
It should be possible to dismantle the pump mechanism. If it is anything
like mine it is just a piston, spring and ball bearing valve.
But pumping/ recycling solvent through the system should remove most of the
krud.
BTW, in what way is the hardener vessel contaminating the hardener?

Hi Carl,
the contamination is small dark particles and reddish colour which
could be corrosion inside the mechanism.
thanks
