[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 698098, member: 7509"] I use a "shock treatment" in my concrete waterer once of twice a summer. At a time when no cattle will be using the waterer for a couple hours (I close a gate to make sure they don't use it): #1 I drain the waterer #2 I pour about a quart of chlorine bleach into the maybe 15 gal of water in my waterer as it refills. #3 Swish/brush this, leave full for an hour or two. #4 drain after about 2 hours, refill with clean water add a cup of bleach, brush it all over, drain this out. Rinse #5 refill with clean water The tank will still smell a bit like bleach and cows may avoid it for awhile but they will come back. This process has kept mine fairly free of algae etc for a couple months at a time. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
