Why you need it Keeps bird bath water clearer, longer — reduces algae and biofilm so birds have cleaner drinking and bathing water. Cuts routine maintenance time and expense by reducing how often you need to scrub, , or water. Uses a safe, chemical process to purify water so you avoid continual use of cleaning agents. Key benefits and how it works Effortless maintenance system: place the copper disc in your bird bath, remove visible debris, rinse and refill for routine upkeep. The disc dramatically reduces the frequency of cleaning chores. We still recommend a thorough cleaning every 1–2 weeks for results. Advanced copper purification technology: made from 2 mm thick, 99.99% pure copper. The disc purifies water naturally as a protective patina forms (the same natural process that preserves the Statue of Liberty). This is an EPAregistered technology (Reg. No. 623081) and provides chemical water purification for your birds. Revolutionary triplecontact design: a threepoint support structure increases water contact area for faster, more consistent purification. This design has been shown to extend cleaning intervals from every 3 days to approximately every 20 days, reducing maintenance time by about 120 minutes per month and helping eliminate green slime. Longterm value: the robust 2 mm copper construction replaces multiple cleaning products and extra tools. Install and let it work—estimated savings of roughly 300 per year compared with frequent cleanings and chemical treatments. Important attributes Material: 99.99% pure copper, 2.0 mm thickness. Technology: natural patinabased purification; EPAregistered (Reg. No. 623081). Design: threepoint (triplecontact) support to maximize water contact and purification efficiency. Performance: reduces visible algae and slime, significantly extends time between cleanings, chemical. Practical applications and use scenarios Backyard bird bath: place the copper disc in home bird baths to cut down on weekly scrubbing and to keep water clearer for songbirds and pollinators. Patio or balcony water features: use in small, exposed water basins where algae grows quickly to maintain better water quality with minimal effort. Community gardens, parks, or wildlife areas: reduces maintenance labor and supply costs while providing safer water for wild birds and small wildlife. Simple care and installation Installation: set the disc into your bird bath so it rests on the support points and is submerged according to your basin depth. Routine: remove floating debris, rinse the bowl, and refill as needed. Deep cleaning: although the disc extends the interval between full cleanings, we recommend a comprehensive scrub every 1–2 weeks for hygiene. What it replaces Replaces the need for frequent chemical additives, extra scrubbers, and multiple cleaning products dedicated solely to algae control. Safety and reliability Uses a proven, natural copper patina process for purification. EPAregistered (Reg. No. 623081) and chemical. Durable 2 mm copper construction for longterm use. Notes Designed specifically as a copper disc for bird baths. Check your basin depth and placement so the disc can sit correctly on its support points.
