  • Only one dose is needed to achieve the therapeutic level of 1.5 - 2.0 ppm copper. No second dose is needed during treatment.
  • To prevent accidental overdose in an unknown volume of water, add approximately 1/4 or 1/2 dose and test before adding additional copper.
  • If water changes must be performed during treatment, treat the volume of replacement water with Coppersafe® to maintain the therapeutic level
  • Overdosed? Perform large water changes immediately until a test kit reads below 2 ppm copper
