Apple cider vinegar to keep water clean?

[Dragonfly5707]

Hi everyone,
I have a 5-gallon waterer in my coop (well, technically in the run, but you know what I mean), and I'm worried about it getting gross in there. I've been changing it every 3 days just to be safe, but I would like to be more confident in its cleanliness. Is apple cider vinegar a good idea, and if so, how much? Does it have any health benefits?

Thank you for helping me keep my girls healthy and happy!!!

Hi. The BEST thing I have found to keep algae out of you water is COPPER. Put a piece of copper in it and it should stay WAY cleaner! I've just recently did this and haven't seen algae since. Hope it helps.
