Electrolysis of copper and silver ions against algae in ponds

Algae, microorganisms and molluscs die even at low concentrations of the heavy metal copper, or Cu for short. With a content of around 0.006 %, copper is most frequently found in the earth's crust.

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.

Electrolysis is a chemical reaction when copper in water is energised.

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

⚠️ The copper electrolysis manufacturers disclaim any responsibility for possible failures or damage.

Copper value limits in the pond

From 0.1 mg/l copper content in water, even sensitive organisms in the pond can be damaged. This corresponds to 16 times the normal value in the soil surface.

Natural bio swimming ponds, natural pools

In a natural pond, the vegetation is abundant and the water is free of chemicals. As many pond inhabitants, micro-organisms, insects and frogs as possible feel at home. In natural pools and biopools, the water is treated naturally.

Anti-algae alternative to copper electrolysis

Algae are naturally combated with highly precise clicks under water. The click signals are generated by an underwater loudspeaker. High-precision clicks affect the algae, which damage the cell walls and hollow bodies through the resonance vibrations.

Living organisms in the water are not affected by the click tones, neither flora nor fauna. Similar sound wave patterns are produced in nature, e.g. when water hits the water surface, echolocation of bats, martens, dolphins or whales.

Existing algae die within a short time and new growth is prevented. Click for "clear water". The G-Sonic algae-free devices are available for ponds from 5 metres long and at least 50 cm deep.
