Algae Treatment
If algae develops on pipes or on the pads, it may be necessary to add a water treatment compound to control algae growth. With a 7 inch
depth of water in the reservoir, the quantity of water (gallons) in your system is equal to the system length in feet times 2 1/4. For example an 80
foot system will hold 180 gallons at a water depth in the reservoir of 7 inches.
