This slime was also in the hoses and nozzles, I had to clean them all out and this was all it needed, I had thought the float needed replacing.

My point is that you should not use plain water as the tank turns into a biology experiment pretty rapidly and the slime blocks hoses and nozzles, some slime could be seen hanging out of the nozzles in my case.


I'm sure Canadians and those in the North do not use water in the winter, but could use only water to add to the tank in the summer, I'd caution against that.
