Review: No worries. - Exactly as described.
Review: Versatile Copper Sulfate That Delivers Serious Results Alpha Chemicals’ Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate is one of those old-school, multipurpose compounds that still earns its place in the shed. The fine powder dissolves quickly and evenly, making it easy to mix for different applications — from controlling algae in pools and ponds to keeping tree roots from invading sewer lines or even for copper crystal-growing experiments. The resealable bag keeps it dry, and the brilliant blue color is unmistakable proof of its purity. Performance-wise, it works exactly as expected. Used in small doses, it clears stubborn algae blooms fast and can help sanitize water systems without staining or leaving residue when properly dissolved. It’s also a strong root deterrent when flushed down pipes in solution form. Because it’s highly concentrated (25.2 % elemental copper), a little goes a long way, and five pounds will last most homeowners years. It doesn’t come with detailed directions — Alpha sells it for many different uses — so you’ll need to look up the correct dilution rate for your purpose and handle it carefully with gloves and a mask. Avoid direct contact with aquatic life or over-application in natural ponds. Bottom line: A high-purity, easy-to-dissolve copper sulfate that’s powerful, economical, and effective for algae control, root prevention, and general maintenance. Treat it with respect, mix it right, and it’ll perform like a professional-grade product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Read this works for preventing mold and mildew on patio pavers, anyone try it?**
A: Used for roots in sewer Do Not use on pavers or cement it Will stain

**Q: Can I use this as a root killer in my septic tank?  We basically live in the woods.**
A: Flush 2 pounds of granular copper sulfate down the toilet for every 300 gallons of water that the septic tank holds. Copper sulfate kills and dissolves tree roots as they absorb the tank's water. After entering a tank, the majority of copper sulfate settles in tank, and little passes into the leach bed line. Also there should be no trees in a 50 foot radius of the system

**Q: I have pipes thick/full of stringy roots. Am I better  off using the powder form or in crystal form. My pipes are irrigation drains outside.**
A: Wear safety glasses.

Take 1.5 cups of rick, .5 cups of flour, and 6 cups of water, and bring to a boil to make a sticky mess.  Add 1.5 cup of Copper sulfate and let it dissolve.    Take the hot mix and pour it down the toilet and flush.  Wait 1-2 minutes and flush again.  Don't use water in the house for 4-8 hours, or longer to let the mix get to the roots and stay on them for as long as possible.  

This will help the copper get drawn into the roots and clog the uptake and then kill the roots in the line. They will break off and get flushed down the line over time.

**Q: Copper sulfate is used as a flame colorant. is copper sulfate pentahydrate different? can i still add it to a fire to color the flames?**
A: Yes, copper sulfate and copper sulfate pentahydrate are used interchangeably.
