Potassium Permanganate in Bath Water


Recommended Posts

Posted

pamamginate of potash is great for anyone who has athlete feet where all the toes get sweaty and infected and skin coming off but dont put too much in the basin just a small pinch as to much turns your feet brown for weeks,just steep your feet in warm water till it goes cold,twice a day and you will heal your feet in no time.

a small pinch between finger and thumb is adequate for a pigeon bath just enough to colour the water

How long have they been operating?  Is it stocked with fish?  What sort of sunlight is it exposed to?

I get it out and have look

 

The UV filter would be in line between the pump and the filter. It works by coagulating the fine algae particles into larger ones which can be removed by filtration.

 

The other method is to place barley straw in the pond at the start of the year. The straw starts to becompose and releases an enzyme which stops the algae forming. It takes a while to work but it is effective.

 

Some day you will thank me for that rubbish.

I have tried to find my old recipe for Potassium Permanganate in drinking water without success.

Has anybody got the correct recipe please, was something like disolve a teaspoon in water then dilute in a gallon of water, but not 100%
