I hafta leave my water system empty through winter because the TM is left outside.

In rereading my post and going back and rereading B&Ds also, I now see that they only use a couple of drops of chlorine. I was thinking the 1/4 cup per 15 gallons that is used in sterilizing the system, which might hurt the plastic, but surely a couple of drops or so would probably be benefitial........I might do that also if I weren't on a public system that probably has chlorine in the water already.
