Water Treatment for Copper Pipes

Water Treatment for Copper Pipes

Water Treatment for Copper Pipes

(OP)
We have a water bath with copper tubing submerged in it.  The water needs to be treated so that algae and other things do not grow in it, however, the chemicals used can't corrode the copper tubing.  Can anyone suggest any products for this problem?  Thanks for your help.

Hello:
Have you tried with UV radiation? It would be useful with some kinds of life-forms.

Good luck

Add copper sulfate.  The vendor can help you with the dosage.  This will not corrode copper pipes.
