Might be a dumb question here, if you do have a layer, buildup, of the copper sulfate on the bottom of your pond, will that not prevent future infestations of moss? or does it become ineffective? just curious, Thanks.
A large percentage of the copper, because of its density, ends up on the bottom of your pond. This leads to sterilization of the most important part of your ponds ecosystem, the bottom.
The solubilization of copper precipitates allows it to continuously impact your pond's ecosystem, especially bottom dwelling organisms. Copper precipitates will also enter the water column through solubilization.
In other words, once you put copper in your pond, you might as well name it because it will be there affecting your pond longer than you will.
