ETCPD1 Copper Purification Disk for Birdbaths

Help keep your bath clean and healthy with the purifying qualities of pure copper. Chemical free all natural 4" diameter copper water purification disk is 99.9% pure American made copper. It’s designed to sit up off the floor of the bath with 3 “feet” to ensure that the entire surface area of the disk is in contact with the bath water insuring maximum benefit.  Tarnished copper does not lose any of its beneficial qualities. Simply place in any bird bath for chemical free water purification.

How it works: The bactericidal activity of copper is mainly attributed to the release of ions, which are recognized by various microorganisms as an essential nutrient—and allowed to enter the cell. Once inside they affect the integrity of the membrane, generate intracellular oxidative stress and are genotoxic, meaning that the ions impede the cell from breathing, eating, digesting, or creating energy— resulting in the death of the microorganism. Antimicrobial copper continuously kills pathogens, even when tarnished.

Note: Copper will effectively help to control the development of harmful elements, but regular visitors to your bath will constantly bring new contaminants. The Copper Disk is not a substitute for proper cleaning.
