Calculate the drip rate of this product from the chart below (based on heavy algae growth).
Water Flow Rate Product drip rate
1 450 1.8 29 1.0
2 900 3.6 58 2.0
3 1350 5.4 85 3.0
4 1800 7.2 113 3.8
To maintain the copper level at 1.0 ppm for 4 hours, calculate the amount of this product
needed by multiplying Qts./Hr., ML/Min., or Fl. Oz./Min. by 4. The chemical must be introduced
at a point of turbulence.
Place the required amount of this product into a tank equipped with a needle valve and set the
drip rate as required using a stop watch and a measuring tube. Readjust as required if flows
change. Distance of control will vary. Treatment points should be determined in the field and
placed at the required intervals for control. Periodic maintenance treatments may be required.
For Drip-system Use in Livestock Watering Tanks: Tanks fed by a continuous flow of spring or
well water may be equipped with a chemical drip system designed to meter-in this product based
upon water flow rates. Systems should be adjusted to maintain a concentration of 0.4 PPM
(mg/L) copper in incoming stock water. Pre-dilute by mixing 1 pint of this product with 14.25
gallons [1 quart of this product with 28.75 gallons][1 gallon of this product with 115 gallons] of
water. Calibrate metering valve to establish a drip rate of 1 fl. oz./min. per 10 gal./min. water
flow rate or 40 ml/min. per 50 L/min. water flow rate. Treat continuously or as needed to control
and prevent algae regrowth.
TREATMENT NOTES
The following suggestions apply to the use of this product as an algaecide or herbicide:
•
The product works best at temperatures at or above 60 degrees F.
•
Treat when growth first appears or nuisance is first noted.
•
Apply in a manner to insure even distribution in the treatment area.
•
Retreat as required. The minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
Conversion factors: cubic feet X 7.48 = gallons
one acre/foot = 326,000 gallons (one acre = 43,560 square feet)
To calculate number of gallons or liters:
For square or rectangular bodies of water: 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 bodies of water: L(ft.) x W(ft.) x D(ft.) x 5.9 = Gallons
L(m) x W(m) x D(m) x 786 = Liters
