I was reading a post of yours about copper sulfate in your pool and was needing your help if you can help please??? I have a 12,000 gallon above ground swimming pool and was told to dissolve 16 ounces of copper sulfate in some water and put it in my pool, so I did and now people are saying it was WAY too much! I have small grandkids and I am worried to even let them in it now. I have purchased copper test strips online and they will be here in 3 days but I am not even sure what they should read? Please help if you can. Thank you, Julie

Mike I played around with copper silver ionisers on my pool by wat of an experiment. I ran with an ionic level of copper at 0.6-0.8ppm and never had staining issues or reports of green hair but I did control the pH very pecisely and kept it at 7.2. It was a vinyl pool but when after 7-8 years I tested the total copper level (not the ionic level) I found it to be 4mg/litre but still no staining or green hair. maybe ionic is better.
