Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does EarthTec compare to copper sulfate for treating algal blooms?
EarthTec can be used to replace copper sulfate. Unlike copper sulfate crystals, EarthTec evenly distributes throughout the body of water, stays in solution to prevent algae regrowth, and is only consumed when met with biological demand.

2. What are the benefits of using EarthTec for algae control in lakes and ponds?
EarthTec is proven to be a reliable, environmentally responsible solution for algae control. Its active ingredient, a highly active biological form of copper ion (Cu++), remains fully dissolved indefinitely, providing long-term algae control without overtreatment.

3. How does EarthTec disperse in the water and what are the application considerations?
EarthTec rapidly and evenly disperses throughout the body of water without the need for mixing or agitation, minimizing equipment and labor costs. It can be used immediately for irrigation without harming plants or fish, and has prescribed application rates for fish-bearing ponds.

4. Is EarthTec safe for use in water bodies and what are the application instructions?
EarthTec is a liquid copper water treatment product registered with the US EPA as an algaecide/bactericide and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60 as a drinking water additive. The application rate for EarthTec is 2.1 oz. per 1000 gallons for the initial dose, followed by a maintenance dosage every 14 days as needed.
