epleeds November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 Does anyone get a type of clear slime in the bottom of your top off container. I get get it from time to time and it’s like a clear jelly type mucus. Does anyone know why it shows up and how to get rid of it? Is it a a type of bacteria?? It’s difficult to photograph but think of a clear slime.

Origami November 13, 2018 Share November 13, 2018 No. My ATO reservoir stays pretty clean, actually. (It's a 10-gallon covered, polyethylene pet food container set well away from any light.) It sounds like you probably have some sort of bacteria that's colonized the bottom. Give the container a good cleaning, then scrub with baking soda an add vinegar that. Then, finally, a good thorough rinse. You may have to do this on a regular basis if it's a problem. You don't by any chance have those plug-in air fresheners in the same room, do you? Those can put water-soluble pthalates in the air which, once absorbed into water, can fuel bacteria growth. About 10 years ago, I had this situation (Glade Plug-ins) and the bacteria formed mats, starting out clear, but gradually becoming opaque and gelatinous. Getting rid of the plug-ins got rid of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
