Keeping your water butt sweet!

No, I've not had any visible issues either tanith. I was hoping there might be a retired microbiologist or similar on here...

Thank you everyone.

I've never thought about this till recently but did read about legionnaires disease if the water gets too warm in the barrel.
I thought I had enough going on in life without that problem it was preventable!

I wonder how the beads work shysal? And yes, charcoal is in water filters but they usually have silver in too.

I don’t do anything to mine it’s always clear it does have a lid.

I read somewhere, sometime, that charcoal would keep water clear.
As I had some charcoal sticks, for drawing, I threw a couple in the water butt, and it is as clear as anything.

I bought a bag of ceramic beads years ago and my butt water is still crystal clear!

Lucca ?

I’d never thought about LD in the water butts. We’ve got 4 and we always clean them out at least once a year. It will be useful to find out about the discs. So much to worry about.....

I missed the word water at first reading??
