The amount of copper sulfate needed to clear water in a concrete pond depends on the size of the pond and the level of clarity desired. A general guideline is to use 0.5-1.0 ppm (parts per million) of copper sulfate for controlling algae in ponds. However, it is important to follow manufacturer recommendations and consider the specific conditions of the pond to prevent over-treatment and potential harm to aquatic life.
It is not recommended to eat fish from a pond containing copper sulfate, but if care is given it is not harmful. Humans can safely consume small amounts of copper, but in large amounts it can cause health problems.
When copper sulfate is applied at the PROPER rates and proportionsthe water is supposed to be safe immediately for swimming. However, it does have an unpleasant smell, so waiting for at least 12 hours is advisable.
