I have been using Pink RV antifreeze for years in my horizontal
bandsaw. The pump has been submersed in it for 7 years or so. I

If it is a fungus, the first thing I would try is Boraxo.

I have seen algae or other slimy growths on filter cartridges that seems to

Impractical.
I now have a dried piece of it in a small cup, soaking in a combo of
syrupy fuel system cleaner, some MEK and alcohol. That motor isn't the
top notch, singing
I’ve used an ultrasonic bath to clean stuff like that.

There are antifreezes for iron blocks and for aluminium blocks. I

IIRC RV grade antifreeze is propylene glycol and often flavored with a
bit of methyl salicylate. Easy to tell if you have it all flushed out.
You will be able to taste the oil of wintergreen long after the pink dye
is gone.

Gene,
Try copper sulfate as a fungicide/ algaecide. It will not harm fish or animals.
It won't help with freezing but should stop growth in the system.

Cheap "blue label" $3 a bottle Vodka works too. People have been using
that to prevent both freezing and algae growth in water systems for years.
It is commonly used when people have to store boats or RV for Winter and
they can never drain all the water.
Clorox bleach is better and more

Sounds like you have a bad algae growing in the system. I have seen some
algae go for the plastic/poly, and eventually break it down.
It may take a medium to strong caustic (Draino) solution to break it down.
But that might not be very good for the internals of the motor.

Small aquarium pumps run 24x7 and doesn't heat the aquarium much. In
fact, you can buy an air pump and an air stone and keep the motor
completely out of the tank. The filter is powered by the rising
bubbles from the stone. An electric pump of the correct size would only

I had a water cooling setup at my place for a few years. I used the
minimum amount of plain old automotive antifreeze which is "not much" here
in California. But even if it never gets cold here, the antifreeze keeps
stuff from growing in the tank.

Why do you need food grade in a recirculating system? How
