err,

as Aunty Pauline said in her day "please explain"

I don't add chlorine to my rain water, it don't occur naturally, it's not in tank after cleaning...ibft

If it's about chlorine and copper...who knows never used tap water on new stills.

And what does your stinky rain tank have to do with the OP's topic ? :angry-banghead:

Remember this?

I use a 1400lt galv rainwater tank and pump.

After some 20+ odd runs reckon the water kinda smells musty to me. Tank is cleaned out every start of winter so it's spotless and has 2 x filters on the way in that are cleaned regularly.

Does water when flogged hard go off?

Do u guys treat water with anything?

I just asked the question about water..

can you explain the chlorine thing cos I like many don't understand what you mean...

Are you saying it occurs in tanks?

Have you tested your water?

If as I mentioned your water smells it's surely is worth checking out... Does your IBC get smelly?

How have you treated it? be keen to resolve this smell issue is all.

Lots of us use a pool for cooling water, works awesome :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Don't reckon running it through for a day would hurt much, if you were that concerned run some tap water through it after, but thats usually chlorinated anyway :teasing-tease:

Now your just being silly, you asked what people did to treat water not me :roll:

No my IBC does not, I treat it with chlorine :roll:

mac,

I might give that a whirl as a Davey shop is miles from my place and I can get chlorine at the supermarket I think from memory.

It's just for cooling water, had thought of dumping it but what a shear waste...

Bleach will do exactly the same thing :handgestures-thumbupleft:
