Not this winter, but in 06 I did, tell them to get some Raycore Biocide. It barely takes any to treat a tank, less than 1/4 ounce for a tank and you will never have any problem with it again.

Dang, not sure what that is but Raycore biocide was like $12ish for a quart. I am not sure if you can even buy it by the gallon though.

I know that the math works out, I just stated that I did not know if they sold it by the gallon.
