	I would strongly second Scott Cherf suggestion of an Iodine based
compound.

	We use wescodyne, both in the lab and at home (homebrewing).
I think the cost is about $48/gal.  There is an enormous difference in
the sterilizing breadth of iodine over chlorine.  In particular,
hepatitis is not killed by chlorination and since 4 viral particles
are enough to infect a healthy adult, it doesn't take much.

	Chlorine is cheaper, but is it worth it?

	Safe diving,

	Peter David
