Know before you buy
Yes, EarthTec is non-toxic to fish and humans when applied according to the label instructions. Its unique formula releases copper ions based on biological demand, which helps maintain a safe environment for your aquatic life.
Unlike standard algaecides that dump all their copper at once, EarthTec's ions are released in response to the pond's biological needs. This prevents overtreatment and ensures the product remains active in the water for longer periods.
No, EarthTec is specifically formulated for freshwater environments. It is not suitable for saltwater systems.
Application is straightforward; you simply pour the liquid directly into the pond. The formula is self-dispersing, meaning it will distribute itself evenly throughout the water without the need for manual mixing.
EarthTec is designed for large-scale use and is effective for ponds up to 1,000,000 gallons. It is specifically recommended for ponds that are 50,000 gallons or larger.
Because the copper ions are released based on biological demand, the product provides long-term control. This significantly reduces the frequency of applications compared to traditional copper-based treatments.
