Water treated with Alligare 8% Copper can be used immediately for recreational activities, for drinking, for watering livestock, and for irrigation of crops, golf courses, ornamental plantings, and turf areas.
As with most Algaecides, don't treat more than half of the body of water at one time. Killing too much algae at once can cause oxygen depletion in the water and that can result in fish kill.
