It is simple enough to keep lines filled with glycol sanitary; used at full strength good products are bacteriostats. However, for those in warm climates, it would be nice if there was some some simple formulation that would prevent spring funk.
I can think of some formulations that would do this and prevent corrosion as well, but they all contain a few chemicals that are either not available to the DIY or could be toxic if not properly rinsed or improperly formulated.
I see this one...
7C's Bulletins, Information, Instruction Sheets
... but I would bet money the primary action is to sterilize the container, and then seal the container, like canning. Obvious and not very useful.
Of course, most cases of fresh water funk are due to a combination of innocent poor practices. Perhaps that is most of the problem.
Any ideas?
