How do you put copper sulfate on a pond or in a pond?
First of all I'm not a pool expert, but I've owned a pool for a bought 25 yrs. I live in Ohio and I have a 20,000 gallon vinyl liner pool with a sand filter system. First thing you need to do is make sure your alkalinity is at least 50 ppm. for copper sulfate to work properly. My pool used to be totally dark green when I opened it. I now use 2 to 3 table spoons of copper sulfate when I open it in the spring and it goes from green to clean in a bought 2 days. It may be a little cloudy at first, but when you get your alkalinity, chlorine, stabilizer, and PH where it belongs, it will clear up. I also use the same amount in the fall when I close it, but make sure you circulate the water for 2 days before you close it. Make sure you mix the copper sulfate with water in a plastic container, make sure the blue crystals are dissolved. I use a 2 gallon plastic container with a sprinkler head on it like you use to water flowers with, this makes it easy to sprinkle the copper sulfate mixed with water in the pool evenly. You can buy copper sulfate at your local hardware store or on ebay. I'm sorry this information is so long, but I know what you're going through, because I've been through it. I hope this helps you. P.S. I only use copper sulfate in the spring and the fall. I do not use it during the season as a chlorine substitute as some people say they do, as to much copper in your water can cause you problems.
