Beware of precipitated iodine. I am not a chemist, but I believe you could form iodine salts that precipitate out. Any solids will void a pump warranty because it's like sand in your shorts (good abrasive).
Instead of a biocide, I prefer keeping my loop hidden (no bling for me) from light, and just regularly perform a coolant flush.
