I have use sanitizer tablets since the mid 80 on commercial systems and started the smaller pill size ones for home systems back around 2000 , kind of expensive per bottle but a bottle lasts years and eliminates the possibility of both mold and legionella so I would say that is a win win. | |

To cause the disease, you usually have to have a compromised immune system, so it's easy not to notice the growing colony. | |
