G5-S Powdered soap build up

I bought this site a few months ago, noticed the pre soak stops spraying soap after about 15 seconds and just sprays water. I took off the nozzles for the soap on the arch manifold and there's soap build up in everything. Previous owner has been using powder soap and it has caused blockages in everything. Bottom line once pressure builds up, it gets back pressure and doesn't allow the soap injector to pull. Is there any chemical or solution I can run through the system to dissolve that?

What do you mean arch manifold? Can you use an electrical fish tape to kind of scrub out the inside of the pipes? Maybe take off one nozzle at each end and attach a pressure sprayer to one and blast high pressure water through it? If you mean the block in the bridge that the two soap heaters feed into you should be able to use some kind of scrubbers to get in there and clean it out. Either way switch back to liquids.
 
I know I'm probably wrong here but wasn't there a thread about White Vinegar that helped with cleaning chem lines?.
