flushing out coolmist and pvc piping (pink mold)
    #5918450 - 07/31/06 12:34 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I recently made some design changes to the cool mist humidification system for my greenhouse. This required me take apart the PVC piping that ran from the cool mist to the greenhouse. In a few spots in the PVC there has formed what appears to be a pink mold. Any recommendations on easily flushing out the PVC piping and preventing this from occurring in the future? I always keep a few "glugs" of h2o2 in the cool mist water. Perhaps not enough? Additionally, what is this mold called?

use vinegar to clean them.

I don't bother with peroxide in the water any more.

use iodine, it works much better.
use a few drops or so per gallon.

if it is a pink mold, it could be lipstick mold.
don't know anything about mold growing on plastic though.
could be bacteria or something...
I don't know.

clean your pipes and coolmist with distilled white vinegar.
after which run the coolmist with idoine treated water.
use micropore tape for the inlet filter instead of the crap the unit came with.

you should be fine after that.
