How to Treat Your Pond With Copper Sulfate

Although every situation is different and you should first read the warnings and indications on the labels. Use with caution in ponds that contain fish because overuse can cause a sudden algal die-off which will deplete O2 levels in the water and cause the fish to asphyxiate. The three most common modes of application are shown below:

  1. Spraying Solution on Pond Surface: Simply dissolve the minimum dose required in the indicated volume of water and spray the solution evenly over the surface of the water.
  2. Broadcasting: Dry Copper Sulfate can be distributed on the water surface using an air blower. This apparatus will blow these crystals over the surface of the pond. Naturally, during the application, the wind direction is an essential factor and needs to be considered when choosing your method.
  3. Injection in Water: A solution of Copper Sulfate and water should be prepared that can then be injected into the water by means of tubing or a weighted hose.
