Copper Sulphate Aquatic Algaecide

Copper sulphate is used to manage the majority of blue-green algae types.

Not only does copper sulphate kill problem algae, specifically blue-green algae, it is an effective component in treating filamentous algae and free floating algae.

Copper sulphate works most effective in bright sunlight when algae is first sighted and applied on the water surface with minimal wind. Before application, ensure larger mats of floating algae are removed.

When NOT to use:

• When fish within the vicinity are intended to be consumed by humans
• On drinking water, irrigation and livestock dams
• On water below 16 degrees

Copper sulphate is APVMA approved

MEASUREMENTS:

FREE FLOATING ALGAE: 0.2 – 0.5mg/L Copper,

FILAMENTOUS ALGAE: 0.5 – 1 mg/L Copper
