EarthTec Algaecide, Earth Science Laboratories

EarthTec Algaecide can be used to replace copper sulfate. Many customers have been using copper sulfate for years to treat unwanted algal blooms in the late spring and throughout the summer. 

The problem is copper sulfate crystals sink, so much of the copper is wasted and settles to the bottom. It also requires an extensive labor campaign to apply the product. These drawbacks are eliminated with EarthTec. EarthTec Algaecide can be applied in one location, and it will evenly distribute throughout the body of water. All of the product is immediately bioavailable and toxic to algae. EarthTec Algaecide does not settle out and is not wasted. The residual EarthTec Algaecide stays in solution to prevent algae regrowth and is only consumed when met with biological demand. Most customers who switch from traditional copper sulfate crystals (25% Cu) to EarthTec (5% Cu) see an immediate reduction of the amount of copper added to the environment.
