I think you might need to research that a bit as I'm not an expert in water treatment.
Swimming pool chlorination treatment comes to mind, but I wouldn't like to say for sure.
Many years ago I used to have a pool and I seem to remember we simply treated it with tablets to chlorinate and kill the bugs, but do some searching on legionnaires water treatment. Perhaps talk to swimming pool suppliers.

What Bob James uses, look very nice, as do Youngs.
I'm going to do what Chris Yates seems to do - bit of distance, put a Fixed spool on (Mitchell 301 in my case) It's pristine, a shame to use.
The options of Pins for close in- once you look the options are vast, I've seen a couple that take my fancy - both need some renovation work mainly due to age (Screws worn, bushes need changing, re-enamelling if dire) One's so rare I've only ever seen one advertised, think that's going to be the one, not going to name as search engines would go into melt down

10x packs of jp precision hooks and other small bits of them should keep me busy with rig tying for a while!
Just stocked up on the aspen4 for when I get around to doing to the pressure washing.

Hi Tazi,
I'm a water production engineer, a tiny amount of sodium hypochlorite would sort it, maybe lightly insulating the vessel as well would help, to prevent legionella the temps need to be below 20c or above 50c to maintain a safe conditions. We use tablets for chlorinating small vessels, each tablet is equates to 1000mg/L but you wouldn't need to got to that extreme.

Nice one Leigh very much appreciated.
When you say lightly insulate the vessel, where would I need to do that please?. In the plastic water tank itself?.
Edit - Also please mate how much liquid ‘or how many tablets' would you add to a 50 litre tank of distilled water please?.
Thank you.

Hi Taz,
I'd essentially wrap the tank and pipe work with insulation to prevent the water becoming warm (below 20c ideally) with regards to chlorination, I've done some quick calculations and you only need 0.5ml of <5% house hold bleach (sodium hypochlorite) in 50 litres to give a residual of 0.7mg/l, remember if your using distilled water it will have virtually no chlorine demand. Another alternative would be to use tap water which will have some where in the region 0.3 - 0.5mg/l of chlorine residual.
Cheers

lol, making another batch of hookbaits tomorrow after a new batch of corkballs arrived. Currently doing well on JB plum & minamino wafters, Nutrabaits chocolate & sweet spice wafters, Strawberry oil palatant wafters. Gonna make pink Richworth tutti pop ups for a new weedy water i've just joined. Love homemade specials

Sounds nice Keith, something rare or unusual to use on cane.
I've got some lovely pins but I'd be looking for something with some history, can't say cane appeals to me though.
Ever thought of making one?
I had to strip and rebuild a Fred crouch for a friend and thought I could make this

Nice one Leigh, thanks a million and will look into doing exactly that.
Thank you, much appreciated.

Sounds good but the more I look and study, the work involved to make identical parts, screws etc... is it worth all the time???
I could probably make a Center Pin from scratch to my own design in less time then refurbishing one, one of my mates made 500 of them last December for a client.
It's got me thinking - in Titanium
Another mate of mine Brian is a master Carpenter, he has the patience to work with the stuff - not me, I've made Bank Sticks and Buzz Bars out of solid Oak and Teak for fun in the past.

For a metalworker you'd probably be better off stabilising timber before working it (epoxy resin and a vacuum pump)
It does as its told after that, and stays that way with a little care.
I remember Gary Mills saying something about titanium for centerpins but I can't remember why he decided not to use it.
Can magnesium be worked or does it have to be cast
I did look into getting the kit to make my own but I could probably get a couple of Chris lythes for less money
