crystal copper sulphate

Crystal Copper Sulphate, also known as Blue Vitriol or CuSO₄·5H₂O, is a blue crystalline compound widely used in swimming pool maintenance, agriculture, and industrial applications. In pool care, it acts as a powerful algaecide, effectively preventing and eliminating algae growth in both residential and commercial pools. Its high purity ensures fast action and long-lasting protection, keeping pool water clean, clear, and safe for swimming.

When added in controlled quantities, copper sulphate disrupts algae cells and inhibits their reproduction without affecting water balance or causing harm to swimmers.

It is particularly effective in treating green, black, and mustard algae, even in hard-to-reach corners and pool surfaces. The crystalline form dissolves quickly in water and can be evenly distributed for maximum effectiveness.

Beyond pool maintenance, crystal copper sulphate is also used in agriculture as a fungicide and micronutrient for crops, in water treatment as a biocide, and in various industrial processes including electroplating, dyeing, and chemical manufacturing.

Proper handling and dosage are important, as excessive use can lead to staining of pool surfaces or equipment due to copper accumulation. When used correctly, crystal copper sulphate offers a reliable, economical, and multipurpose solution for algae control and beyond.
