Is that the purple stuff they used to call Condy's Crystals? Haven't seen or heard of that in years!

parents and grandparents used to make up a gallon of solution from crystals and then dilute it in the drinkers. The birds wattles always gleamed white, never any respiritory etc either.

Exactly Phil, thats what i remember the old guys doing, making gallon bottles of this at a time! Its a shame but a lot of the old fashioned products / remedies like this seemed to have slipped by the wayside!

Used it for years in bath water never had any problems only need very small amount though you can also use it for fish to control bacterial parasitic and fungal problems
