Ive got a small amout of alge growing in my T line. I knew a T line was a stupid idea, its only for draining too :/ I have a res also. Should I just clean out my entire loop or poor some iodine or alge killer in my setup?

That's why I always clean out my rads when new.
*I've had anti-freeze dye things in my water loop before too, so it would look like algae.

Agreed, iodine or algaecide will not allow algae to grow. Do you use any dye and how well did you prep your system before installation?voigts said:Whatever it is, it isn't algae that won't grow (not will most anything else) with iodine in the loop. I agree that it is probably just some kind of gunk.
A T for a drain is not stupid. That is the smart thing to do so that you have an easy way to drain.

Well, ive used blue UV dye and green antifreeze. I didnt really prep anything before filling the loop up before.Diggrr said:Sure it's algae or is it some flux and guck clumping and floating into the line?
