I may have to make a major change in my recommendation. After reading about BillA's experiences with WW (water wetter), it may be that WW is a bad bet after all. BillA was complaining about a buildup of slime when he used WW that came off in "ropy tendrils". Mmmmm... yum.

Has anyone had a problem with it? I hope that BillA has a biological growth or some sort of wierd breakdown of tubing material (hydrolized rubber anyone?). However, I wanted to post a warning here just in case.

Isopropyl alcohol is a fine biocide (not as good as bleach, btw) but it does nothing for galvanic corrosion. Just remember that any dissimilar metals will cause corrosion in your system unless there is a protective additive.
