1 Introducing ClearBlue 104

2 ClearBlue-104 primary uses are to control algae and bacterial growth in a wide variety of water conditions containing organic matter/algae/bacteria to suppress bacterial odors and toxic gases in a wide variety of agricultural and waste treatment applications to control the growth of spoilage bacteria and fungal disease on fruits, vegetables, nuts and other field crops to control algae in cooling towers and reservoirs to suppress as a herbicide a variety of rooted weeds to control algae and bacteria in aquaculture and fish ponds

3 What ClearBlue-104 is Not ClearBlue-104 by itself is not a water purifier. Water purification is a process to create safe drinking water including chemicals and filtering systems for the control of public health bacteria and other harmful organisms.. However ClearBlue-104 is approved for use to control bacteria in potable water.

4 Advantages of ClearBlue-104 over Copper Sulfate and Chlorine in Water Treatment Copper Sulfate Chlorine ClearBlue-104 Suspension Time Copper quickly complexes and falls to the bottom of the water where it becomes ineffective as high ph causes less availability Chlorine dissipates rapidly, requiring constant replenishment. High temperatures accelerate dissipation. High ph reduces effectiveness Remains in suspension over a long period of time. Does not dissipate out of solution. Stable at high ph because controlled liquid Dispersion Rate Tends to clump creating uneven distribution throughout the body of water with high concentrations in sediment. Not a dispersant. Uniform distribution but with short term effects if not continually replenished. Uniform dispersion without the need to continually replenish. Safety for Fish and Wildlife High concentrations of precipitated copper in sediment of bodies of water Potentially damaging to fish, wildlife and flora. Known carcinogen. Toxic to aquatic life at low concentrations. Increased suspension time allows low dose rate resulting in minute amounts of copper in suspension. Control of Copper Levels High doses needed. Not ease to control as use levels are unpredictable and difficult to measure. Not applicable. Easily controlled. Predictable and measurable levels. Residue Excessive residue due to high treatment levels and precipitation rates. Rapidly consumed. Depletes the ozone layer. Minimal residue due to low, effective treatment levels. Low biological reactivity Human Safety Inhalation hazard. Known carcinogen; toxic; corrosive; inhalation hazard; storage hazards. Low toxicity. Low volatility. Caution only on label

5 The ClearBlue-104 Advantage A patented and stabilized copper-based liquid that performs well over a wide range of ph, alkalinity and water hardness. EPA approved ClearBlue-104 can be used in a wide range of water quality and is very effective at low or very low dose rates. Suppresses all forms of bacteria forms of bacteria and other organisms by interfering with their metabolism and causing destruction of their reproductive capabilities. Continuously Effective. Maintains predictable stabilized copper levels in suspension over extended periods of time which provides continuous effective control while minimizing the number of application required versus other oxidants and other non-oxidizing micro-biocides. Self Disperses & Uniformly Concentrates in any size of water body Controls Odor. Controls odor in wastewater and other water sources. Works Faster, Better & Longer. Works faster, at a lower ppm, with higher kill rates, for longer periods of time when compared with other known micro-biocides.

6 For Algae and Pondweed control and suppression of bacteria. A metered spray/pump of ClearBlue-104 at an application rate up to 1 gallon/60,000 gallons of water enables that water to be reused immediately as it is free of algae and bacteria
