First of all I'm not a pool expert, but I've owned a pool for a bought 25 yrs. I live in Ohio and I have a 20,000 gallon vinyl liner pool with a sand filter system. First thing you need to do is make sure your alkalinity is at least 50 ppm. for copper sulfate to work properly. My pool used to be totally dark green when I opened it. I now use 2 to 3 table spoons of copper sulfate when I open it in the spring and it goes from green to clean in a bought 2 days. It may be a little cloudy at first, but when you get your alkalinity, chlorine, stabilizer, and PH where it belongs, it will clear up. I also use the same amount in the fall when I close it, but make sure you circulate the water for 2 days before you close it. Make sure you mix the copper sulfate with water in a plastic container, make sure the blue crystals are dissolved. I use a 2 gallon plastic container with a sprinkler head on it like you use to water flowers with, this makes it easy to sprinkle the copper sulfate mixed with water in the pool evenly. You can buy copper sulfate at your local hardware store or on ebay. I'm sorry this information is so long, but I know what you're going through, because I've been through it. I hope this helps you. P.S. I only use copper sulfate in the spring and the fall. I do not use it during the season as a chlorine substitute as some people say they do, as to much copper in your water can cause you problems.
Follow the directions on the bottle of algaecide. For algae other than black you can be liberal, but for black algaecide follow the instructions to the letter. Blk algaecides have a tendency to restrict flow in your filter. Lastly, remember you are putting copper in your pool so too much over a long period of time can build up to a stain.
Addition of copper sulfate will poison your algae. It will also corrode any brass or zinc (galvanized) that it comes in contact with.
pour it in!
Any reaction occur when gold is put in copper sulfate.
HOW LARGE IS THE CONCRETE POND?
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
Calcium + Copper sulfate ----> Calcium sulfate + Copper It is a single displacement reactions. The products are Calcium Sulfate (white, insoluble) and fillings of copper(reddish-brown).
It is not recommended to eat fish from a pond containing copper sulfate, but if care is given it is not harmful. Humans can safely consume small amounts of copper, but in large amounts it can cause health problems.
Copper sulfate has CuSO4 as its formula. Copper sulfate is also written copper (II) sulfate.
Copper sulfate has CuSO4 as its formula. Copper sulfate is also written copper (II) sulfate.
Copper sulfate is not a metal There are two compounds called Copper Sulfate, which are salts of the metal Copper. CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, once known as Cupric Sulfate. Cu2SO4 is Copper (I) Sulfate, once known as Cuprous Sulfate.
Copper sulfate is not black. Combined with water, as hydrated copper sulfate, it is blue. Without water, as anhydrous copper sulfate, it is white.
Copper(I) sulfate is Cu2SO4: the ratio Cu/SO4 is 2.

The copper sulfate dissolves and turns into a royal-blue color.
