EarthTec®
is a proven, reliable and environmentally
responsible solution to recurring algae blooms that
can create a real problem in the maintenance of
lakes, ponds and fountains.
EarthTec®,
an
algicide and bactericide, is designed for use in lakes,
ponds, fountains and other water systems.
It’s a liquid copper water treatment product
registered as an algicide
and bactericide
with the US EPA and Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60 as a
drinking water additive.
Prevent Algae in Lakes, Ponds &
Fountains
The
active ingredient in EarthTec® is a
biologically active form of copper ion (Cu++). Unlike other
copper algicides available today, the copper in EarthTec® is
already fully dissolved, and more importantly, the release
of its active ingredient is controlled by biological demand
(such as an algae bloom) instead of by water conditions.
This allows you to treat your pond or fountain prior to an
ugly outbreak of algae. The copper will not precipitate out
of solution, but will remain fully dissolved indefinitely,
thereby insuring long-term algae control without overtreatment.
Save Time and Labor
EarthTec®
will rapidly and evenly self-disperse throughout the body of
water to which it is applied — without mixing or agitation,
minimizing equipment and labor costs. Regardless of dilution
rate, the active ingredient in EarthTec® will always be uniformly distributed.
Lake and pond water may be used immediately following
treatment for irrigation without harm to plants or grass.
EarthTec® may also be used in fish-bearing ponds at
prescribed application rates.
EarthTec® Dosage Rates
Figure water
volume in gallons (length x width x average depth x 7.5). Apply
initial dosage of EarthTec® every 14 days until visible algae
disappear. Then apply
maintenance dosage of EarthTec® every 14 days. See charts
below.
