NO! Copper sulphate if used in sewer systems to remove roots. It is a deadly and toxic chemical. Why do you want to switch????

chlorine itself has very little effect on the plaster coating that is used in most pools, if your coating is of a color , chlorine added directly to a spot may cause some discoloration , but unlikely, the pH or alkalinity of the water is of much more concern than the chlorine when it comes to a gunite pool coating.

Do saltwater pools have copper?
Any pool can have copper. Source water may have it in it. Some pools have copper plumbing. Most pool heaters have copper heat exchangers. If your pH or Alkalinty levels are lower than recommended, then the copper in the plumbing or heater can be stripped out and stain the pool plaster a bluish-green color. Some allgaecides even use copper which will also stain. You should also take care using copper algaecide in salt water pools as they may cause problems with the chlorinators.

Step by step on cleaning a green swimming pool?
(1) increase the amount of chlorine in the pool (2) get an algaecide from the pool shop and follow the directions on the bottle ( I like copper based algaecides as these seem to last longest in the water. Unless the infestation is very serious you should have the situation under control in a couple of days. However these are not always suitable for salt water pools. (3) if you find that the infestation is so bad that you are unable to clear up the water go to the pool shop and get a floculent follow the instructions on the container.

Why you get green hair in a swimming pool?
Its because of the chlorine. The blue color deposits on your golden color and creates an ashy green effect. The above is totally wrong. Chlorine does NOT cause green hair, copper does. Sources of copper in pools are commonly algaecides, "multi-action" chlorine tablets and shocks, ionizers and mineral cartridge systems, copper pipes used to plumb the pool (common on older pools), and the fill water used.
