I have a built-in one - all the pipes in my house (IF the neutralizer tank
runs out...my well water has a pH of 4.7)

Al,

I used it for a while to try to slow down the green slime that grows on
top of the moss. No slime, no fungus gnats. Although I saw no ill
effects on the orchids, I did not think it slowed down the slime enough
to justify the cost. I do know an orchid growers who use it exactly as
you describe and swears by it. He heats with natural gas and has been
pushing down greenhouse temps for the last couple of years. I think his
Phal houses are now in the mid 50's with other greenhouses even lower.
I have never used it for this because I am pretty happy with my copper
ion injector, but I guess it will be put to a test this winter.


Just to steer this completely off track... Where did you get this copper
ion injector? I had never heard of one before.
