I would try using diatomaceous earth (food grade) powder for the bugs. I use
it on my tomato plants and it works wonders. It is completely harmless to the
plant, but bugs hate it. It is like razor blades to them. They get cut up
and dry out. Its also harmless and it can be ingested for cleaning your colon
or used externally for skin exfoliation . I use it to keep ants out of
certain areas as well.

For the other problem with your water, I have a solution: colloidal silver.
I use it personally for a million things. The latest one is when I had a
really bad strawberry plant that litterally had mold growing all over the
plant and was inches from death. As a last resort to save it and to test out
the silver, I put some in a spray bottle and sprayed the entire outer leaves
and stems of the plant. I also applied some to the water and roots.

What happened next was better than I expected. The plant made a full and
speedy recovery, all mold was gone, and since silver really doesn't go away,
the plant will most likely be free from bacteria and disease for a long time
to come. Try it out!

Oh yeah another benefit: colloidal silver kills bug eggs and makes some bugs
sterile. Check it out!

Good luck.
