Maybe something like this: http://www.gardencentre.co.uk/produc...r=gbase&ad=860 Ah, something to stop the water going stagnant or growing Alage. Algae needs light to grow so a decent opaque lid and side cures that one. Stagnant would require quite high volumes of organic matter I would have thought, not just atmospheric fallout or tile/slate debris. Like David I don't "treat" ours. The last time I emptied it 'casue the silly plastic tap broke there was about half an inch of very fine black mush in the bottom and a healthy population of blood worms... Not much organic or other matter makes it into the butt though as the hosepipe feed has a deep dip in it that traps most grunge and needs emptying every year or so. -- Cheers Dave. |
