There is a product called OXINE that is used as a disinfectant for anything to do with cleaning chickens and their eggs. I use in our water system to keep out the slime and other bacteria that could be present in standing water.
Here are a few pics of the water system. The OXINE is mixed at a rate of one ounce per 30 gallons of water. I got it on ebay.
The label says its also used to clean eggs. We just go our first egg yesterday!

The PVC has been painted black and raised.

I like your automatic feeder.
Thanks. Costs less than $20 to make. No more cleaning the water every day! I will be using a heated cable to keep it water in the winter.
