Gene,
Try copper sulfate as a fungicide/ algaecide. It will not harm fish or animals.
It won't help with freezing but should stop growth in the system.

It may run at 12k for several hours when sharpening HSS` lathe tools. I
found somebody selling 2" CBN disks, but he didn't know the grit, and
I'm guessing they are 10k+ minimum. So while they leave a mirror
finish, but if basicly shaping the tool as opposed to just resharpening,
I need something quite a bit coarser for the rough shaping. I do have a
much coarser wheel, a valve grinder style cup, but it takes the G0704
and its 3k max spindle to turn it. I need a 200 grit cbn to turn in
that high speed spindle for the rough shaping w/o putting 50 hours on
that motors bearings. Unfortunately, even the Chinese are slow to catch
on that putting a CBN wheel in their tool grinder is the only way to
fly.
I just got back from wallies, found zip to clean this crap out of the
motor, so I brought back two pleated paper fuel filters from the
outboard gizmo's shelf but made for a huge 7/16" fuel tine, so I've got
a jury rig of shrink tubing and 3 assorted sizes of clear plastic
connecting the filter to the pump, and the other end to the 1/4" bore of
the lines going to the motor. The motor connector is unplugged so
nothing is running but the pump. I can throw water against the ceiling 5
feet above the tank, but going thru the motor to dribble back into the
tank might be a gallon an hour, its just a dribble. Certainly not
enough to protect the motor. I wonder if I plug it back in and give it
the good gulf, if it would boil violently enough to dislodge some of
that pink jell? 90-100 psi air blowing both ways doesn't do any good.
I'm only getting maybe 10% of the flow I got when it was new about 18
months back. This is now fresh distilled water, which is a higher
solvent cleaning effect than tap water. I'll let it run 2-3 days, by
which time I should be able to tell by looking at the fuel filter if I
need to play with the ph. A teaspoon of TSP maybe? Some lemi-shine?
Sodium carbonate? But that's pretty brutal. Would need a hell of a good
rinsing.
IDK, you guys tell me.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
