Potable Water

Less algae.  EarthTec® is an innovative low pH algicide/bactericide containing a very high concentration of biologically active cupric ions (Cu++).  Conventional methods involve treating for algae after a bloom occurs, resulting in the need for high treatment levels and damage to non-target species.   EarthTec® allows long term control and will prevent blooms from reoccurring without buildup of copper on the bottom.

Control of algae and reduction of bacteria yield several benefits:

• Elimination of odor and bad taste in drinking water due to algae blooms
• Reduction in THM precursors
• Safer recreational environment for boaters and swimmers
• Reduces or eliminates need for activated carbon

Less work.  EarthTec®'s dark blue liquid solution self-disperses, allowing even distribution without spraying or mixing.   Labor costs are greatly reduced.

Less copper. EarthTec®'s active ingredient is a biologically active cupric ion (Cu++), which is the only form of copper that is useful in controlling algae and bacteria.  EarthTec® contains a unique hydrotrope which allows a greater concentration under varying water conditions.  EarthTec®'s high content of biologically active copper results in less total copper being added to the environment.  The release of EarthTec®'s copper is controlled by biological demand (such as an algae bloom) instead of by water conditions.  This allows you to treat prior to an algae bloom.  The copper will not precipitate out of solution, but will remain fully dissolved indefinitely, thereby insuring long-term algae control without overtreatment.

EarthTec® is registered as an algicide/bactericide with the US EPA and certified to NSF Standard 60 as a drinking water additive.  EarthTec®'s environmentally responsible product is non-toxic to humans and fish when used as directed.
