Try Lime-away.
In all probability you have calcium and lime deposits. Just make sure you
flush it out with LOTS of water.
Put some down the hose, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, flush it through
with lots of water.
I bet that does it.
The other thing to try is to rig a freshwater hose to the drain hose - then
flush it out for a while....
