EarthTec

Lake Management

Recurring algae blooms can create a real problem in the maintenance of ornamental lakes, ponds and fountains. EarthTec® is a proven, reliable and environmentally responsible solution.

EarthTec® algicide/bactericide is designed for use in lakes, ponds, fountains and other water systems. It's the only liquid copper water treatment product registered as an algicide/bactericide with the US EPA and all 50 states and certified to NSF Standard 60 as a drinking water additive.

Prevent algae. EarthTec®'s active ingredient is a biologically active form of copper ion (Cu++). Unlike other copper algicides available today, the copper in EarthTec® is already fully dissolved, and more importantly, the release of its active ingredient is controlled by biological demand (such as an algae bloom) instead of by water conditions. This allows you to treat your pond or fountain prior to an ugly outbreak of algae. The copper will not precipitate out of solution, but will remain fully dissolved indefinitely, thereby insuring long-term algae control without overtreatment.

Save time and labor. EarthTec® will rapidly and evenly self-disperse throughout the body of water to which it is applied -- without mixing or agitation, minimizing equipment and labor costs. Regardless of dilution rate, EarthTec®'s active ingredient will always be uniformly distributed.

Lake and pond water may be used immediately following treatment for irrigation without harm to plants or grass. EarthTec® may also be used in fish bearing ponds at prescribed application rates.
