Hello everyone! I wasn’t exactly sure where to post this, but since my birdbath is in my garden I felt this was the closest spot.:)

I have, for quite a while now, been using oxine to disinfect my coop, feeders and waterers. I know that some even put it in poultry and livestock water.

I have two water features in our garden area. One is very easy to clean and maintain. The other, not so much…

What I am wondering is:
if I put oxine in that water feature/bird bath, would that help to keep down algae growth and other slime so that I don’t have to do the deep-clean as often? Birds do visit this feature, bathe, and drink. If I add oxine, what would be a safe level of concentration?

Thanks folks!!
