Water that has been contaminated with copper sulfate can be harmful to crops animals and people. When copper sulfate CuSO4 reacts with water H2O the product is still copper sulfate. For fast crystallization you can create some inter-phase by seeding with small crystal of copper sulfate or put a glass rod inside the solution. 5 Copper is also a ubiquitous element. For this reason copper sulfate is an unnecessary danger.
Copper sulfate has been used for the control of algae in raw and public water supplies McGuire et al 1984.
Application by Dragging Under Water. 5 Copper is also a ubiquitous element. Thus the product is called copper sulfate pentahydrate. For fast crystallization you can create some inter-phase by seeding with small crystal of copper sulfate or put a glass rod inside the solution. To use copper sulfate it should be first dissolved in water. Copper-based liquid aquatic herbicides offer some advantages but are a more expensive alternative.
