  • Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for drinking water
Product Information

This product is a liquid, water soluble copper formulation designed to effectively control a broad range of algae and cyanobacteria growth in potable water sources including reservoirs, lakes, ponds and related water conveyance systems. Citric and gluconic acids in the formulation provide added chemical stability to the copper when used in alkaline waters. Control of certain forms of algae and cyanobacteria in these water sources can aid in the reduction of taste and odor problems associated with 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin production from these organisms. Dosage rates and frequency of treatment should be based upon the sensitivity of species present, the extent/biomass of the bloom and the depth of the growth present in the water column.
