## Description

## Coptrol Aquatic Algaecide

### Control Algae Safely and Effectively in All Water Bodies

Uncontrolled algae growth can quickly impact water quality, block irrigation systems, and create safety and aesthetic problems in ponds, dams, and water storage areas.

**Coptrol** provides an effective, APVMA-approved solution to eliminate algae—including toxic blue-green species—without harming aquatic life, livestock, crops, or turf.

### Key Features and Benefits

-
**Fast-acting** – Kills most algae within 72 hours.

-
**Versatile application** – Suitable for all water bodies including potable (drinking) water, irrigation systems, aquaculture, and ornamental lakes.

-
**Safe and non-corrosive** – Will not harm fish, livestock, wildlife, aquatic plants, or irrigation equipment when used as directed.

-
**Australian made** – Formulated for local conditions.

-
**Chelated copper formulation** – Provides superior suspension and algae contact time compared to copper sulphate, reducing environmental copper loading.

### Suitable For

-
Drinking water storages and tanks

-
Stock watering dams and troughs

-
Irrigation dams, channels, and turf irrigation systems

-
Ornamental ponds, lakes, and fountains

-
Hydroponics and aquaculture systems

-
Wastewater and industrial ponds

### Application Rates

Water Body Type
Rate
Application Method
Frequency

**Tanks & Troughs**
2–5 mL Coptrol per 1,000 L of water
Dilute 1 part Coptrol to 10–20 parts water; apply evenly over surface
Usually one application; repeat after 10–14 days if heavy growth persists

**Dams, Ponds & Water Impoundments** (including potable water)
4.2–8.4 L per 1,000 m² of water surface (1 m depth) or 5–10 L per 1 ML of water
Apply evenly to the water surface under calm, sunny conditions
As required; reapply after 10–14 days for severe infestations

For dense growths of **Nitella** or **Chara**, use **10 L per 1 ML** or **5 mL per 1,000 L** of water.

### Application Guidelines and Safety

-
Apply in **bright sunlight** and **calm conditions** for best results.

-
Treat only **one-third** of large water bodies at a time to prevent oxygen depletion.

-
Allow **10–15 days** between sectional treatments to permit oxygen recovery.

-
**Do not** apply if water temperature is below 16 °C or in soft water (< 50 ppm carbonate hardness).

-
**Do not** use in dams supplying water to sheep grazing on ragwort.

-
Always wear **protective gloves, coveralls, masks, and goggles** during application.

### Results and Ongoing Maintenance

-
Visible improvement occurs within **3–10 days** as algae discolour and decompose.

-
For ongoing algae prevention, apply **half the initial rate monthly** or as required.

-
Complementary measures such as **aeration** and **Aquatic Blue dye** can enhance long-term clarity and reduce recurrence.

**Coptrol** is the new generation algaecide—safe, effective, and environmentally responsible.
It delivers rapid algae control in all water environments while protecting the health of fish, livestock, crops, and irrigation systems.
