________________________________________________________________________
Planktonic 0.2 3.5 fl. oz. 6.5 fl. oz. 9.5 fl. oz. 13.0 fl. oz.
Filamentous 0.2 3.5 fl. oz. 6.5 fl. oz. 9.5 fl. oz. 13.0 fl. oz.
For planktonic algae and free floating filamentous algal mats, application rates should be based
on treating the upper 3 - 4 feet of water where the algae is growing. The minimum retreatment
interval is 14 days. No more than ½ of the body of water may be treated at one time. Begin
application near the shoreline and apply outward in bands to avoid trapping fish in coves or
enclosed areas.
Before application, dilute at the rate of 1 gallon of this product in 10 gallons of water. For
quickest results, apply when conditions are calm and sunny. A hand or power sprayer may be
used. Treat shoreline areas first and then continue treatment, as needed, into main water body.
For algaecide application in aquaculture systems such as fish ponds and fish hatcheries, do not
exceed 0.4 ppm metallic copper (¼ fluid ounce of product per 265 gallons of water).
For algaecide application in waters used for livestock: For water holding or storage tanks, stock
watering ponds, tanks, and troughs, apply ¼ fluid ounce of this product per 265 gallons of water
(8 milliliters per 1,000 liters) to achieve the desired 0.4 PPM (mg/L) of copper for algae control.
Product can be simply added to the water column (body of water) for even distribution. Where
existing algae mats are present at time of treatment, most effective control will be obtained by
breaking up mats and/or evenly dispersing diluted product over the algae mats. Apply this
product as needed to control and prevent algae growth; more frequent applications may be
needed in times of higher water temperatures.
DETERMINE VOLUME OF TANK, TROUGH OR POND WATER TO BE TREATED.
Measure length (L), width (W), and average depth (D) in feet (ft.) or meters (m) and calculate
volume using one of the following formulas:
*For square or rectangular tanks, troughs and ponds:
L(ft.) x W(ft.) x D(ft.) x 7.5 = Gallons
L(m) x W(m) x D(m) x 1000 = Liters
*For circular or elliptical tanks, troughs and ponds:
L(ft.) x W(ft.) x D(ft.) x 5.9 = Gallons
L(m) x W(m) x D(m) x 786 = Liters
