I always add Germaben II, Germaben II-E, Germall II, Germall Plus and Liquid

Germall Plus at or below 45C (113F).

Germaben II would be a good choice.

Majestic Mountain Sage has information on how to use this product.

Add when mixture is below 175 degrees.

Maurice,

Would the smell be offensive? On the website it said Germaben

has an odor. I have liquid germall, can I use that?

When used at 1%, I haven't found the smell of Germaben II or Germaben II-E to be

an issue or problem.

I use Germall Plus most of the time.
