.Does algae affect the drinking water in the tank? Yes
Algae in water can become toxic especially if the water is consumed for drinking water. The typical green water becomes a regular occurrence especially in the summer months where the sunlight speeds up the growth of algae inside water and vessels used to store drinking water
?What Causes Slime Algae
Slime algae, aka blue-green algae, is actually the organism cyanobacteria. It comprises (usually) single-celled bacteria that often grow in colonies large enough to see, forming filaments, sheets, or spheres. They are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they commonly live in fresh or salt water and can manufacture their own food. Cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll not found in other bacteria, endowing them with their blue-green color, and they produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. This large, important group of bacteria has been around for more than 3.5 billion years.
