Claim 0:
1. A system for retarding the growth of biological organisms in a pipe by adding a metal structure to the pipe comprising:
at least one pipe that allows a substance to pass through it;
at least one metal structure made with a metal that has a biocidal property;
the at least one metal structure is at least of equal length as the at least one pipe;
the at least one metal structure can support passing an electric current;
the at least one metal structure becomes hot enough to fuse to the inner wall of the at least one pipe when an electric current is passed through the at least one metal structure; and
at least a portion of the at least one metal structure fused to the inner wall of the at least one pipe is positioned such that at least a portion of the at least one metal structure is exposed to the inner area of the at least one pipe such that at least a portion of the substance passing through the at least one pipe may come in contact with at least a portion of the at least one metal structure.
