Cleansol Copper Sulphate for Pools (Algaecide)
About this item
Cleansol Copper Sulphate Powder is a highly effective algaecide and water treatment chemical designed to eliminate and prevent green, black, and mustard algae growth in swimming pools, fountains, and water features. It works by releasing copper ions that disrupt algae cell metabolism, preventing their photosynthesis and reproduction. Regular use keeps pool water crystal clear, reduces chlorine demand, and minimizes slippery surfaces or discoloration caused by algae buildup.

How It Works
- Copper Ion Action: Copper ions penetrate algae cells, damaging their chlorophyll and preventing photosynthesis.
- Long-Lasting Effect: A single treatment can suppress algae for several weeks, especially in still or low-flow areas.
- Supports Chlorine Efficiency: Copper sulphate reduces the chlorine load required for sanitation by controlling organic growth.
- Enhances Water Appearance: Maintains clear, blue, and sparkling pool water by preventing green discoloration.
Dosage & Application Guidelines
Always test water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, chlorine) before treatment. For best results, maintain pool pH between 7.2 and 7.6.
| Pool Volume | Standard Dose (Copper Sulphate) | Frequency | Application Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 L | 2–3 g | Every 2–3 weeks | Dissolve powder in water before evenly distributing across the pool surface. |
| 25,000 L | 5–7 g | Every 2–3 weeks | Apply when the pool pump is running to ensure uniform mixing. |
| 50,000 L | 10–15 g | Every 2–3 weeks | Brush pool walls and floor after treatment to remove dead algae. |
Best Practices for Use
- Apply in the morning when sunlight is low and pool circulation is on.
- Do not mix directly with chlorine or acids; add separately.
- Maintain free chlorine at 1–3 ppm for best synergy with copper treatment.
- Backwash or clean filters 24 hours after treatment if heavy algae is present.
- Reapply preventive dose every 2–3 weeks or after heavy rainfall.
Storage
Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. Keep tightly sealed and away from acids or reducing agents. Avoid contact with metals.
Warnings
Caution: Copper sulphate is toxic to fish and aquatic plants — do not discharge directly into ponds or natural water bodies. Use only in man-made pools or controlled systems. Avoid direct skin or eye contact.
