Electrolysis of copper and silver ions against algae in ponds

Is copper in the pond a household remedy?
The simple method of placing a piece of copper in the water of a garden pond or swimming pond is well known. However, caution is advised when combating algae and algae growth, as too much copper damages the pond climate. Vital bacteria, microorganisms, snails and fish are poisoned and can die.
How effective are electrolysis copper and silver ion devices?
Anti-algae copper electrolyzers and copper-silver ionisation systems are effective and prevent the growth of algae. Disinfection takes place in the water of the swimming pond, natural pool, koi or garden pond.

How the
copper electrolyzer
- Positively charged copper and silver ions are exchanged electrostatically in the water
- Cell walls of microorganisms become permeable, the cell walls are destroyed
- Small amounts of copper and silver prevent vital photosynthesis
- Microorganisms in the pond die as a result of the disinfection process
The dangers of copper electrolysis
- An overdose of copper can have harmful effects on fish and other aquatic inhabitants
- Molluscs such as snails or mussels die from the smallest amounts of copper minerals
- Fish such as trout or salmon cannot tolerate too much copper in the water
Copper value limits in the pond
