can i use it in my loop or should i go buy some for the car?
And, don't use a lot of iodine if you've got acrylic parts (like an acrylic reservoir). Iodine will break down acrylic so it could cause a leak if you use too much of it. With a drop or two it should work OK.SuperFarStucker said:Don't buy the iodine from a pet shop, they do have bio-available iodine there but it is to promote algae growth, not kill it Any drugstore will have the iodine you need, its the brown **** they put on your arm before they suck the blood out.
True enough, but it all depends on what you're willing to risk. A hot tub anti-algi compound won't hurt acrylic (and is very cheap), why risk using something that could hurt the system when there are other alternatives?Cyrix_2k said:Alcohal shouldn't crack plastic - but it can make it more brittle over time. However, Steve (the lego case guy) and I use it and haven't had any problems. I have a poly topped WW that I've been using for over two years and it's just fine.

not with an all copper/plastic loop. That's very true if you have a mixed metal loop though.voigts said:You need something to prevent corrosion
Corrosion is likely to occur eventually even in an all similiar metal loop.Cyrix_2k said:not with an all copper/plastic loop. That's very true if you have a mixed metal loop though.
