It's slightly tolerable when we put a

Have you tried bleach?

Yeah, among other things. It's a miracle I didn't kill the critters!


A couple of years ago, we had a problem with a "taint" in the drinking
water. Even hot drinks tasted terrible! I used Beer Pipe Cleaner(which is
essentially *strong* bleach) and the problem hasn't returned.


Perhaps you should ask Peggy (rec.boats???) - she seems to know about these
things.
