Magnet Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Common problem Gregg, particularly in the summer months. Winter months? Far less common. I seldom fill mine more than half full in the summer, since you will find it can actually coagulate as well, and block the jets. Make you are using, and ready-to-use or concentrated? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Sounds good Gregg. Just goes to smell - and act a stagnant water. I think increasing the concentration and just adding small quantities at regular intervals is the best route to minimising the issue. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. I’m averse to the Ready to Use variant, on the basis that I don’t like paying a premium for water, and of course it just adds to the bank of recycling 5 ltr containers.
