Is F10 safe to use in aviary baths ? does it prevent algae growth and how often to change the water ?
many thanks Jim.

Yes & Yes... I change the water daily (so no need for F10) :D

Cheers Griff,
I change the water daily at present but with the hot weather a growth soon appears on the inside of the bath. Just trying to find an easier solution than having to clean out the bath daily.
Yours Jim.

F10 does not stop algae growth, slows it but does not stop it.
Maybe Im not using enough (You know me :roll: )

Seems to mate. Like others I change water daily but if I ever leave one I dont seem to get any algae.

Aviclens is about the best stuff to use in the baths as it does seem to stop algae growth.
Not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but i find if you give the bath a good clean and scrub with either F10 or Vydaphor etc. then refil it, the algae spores have gone so it takes longer again...............;)

F10 is very good, has a lot longer active lifespan when prepared and isn't caustic compared with Virkon S. I've heard some people using it to purify drinking water when there in countries abroad.
