Since this product is labeled for and intended for use in ponds, sewers, septic tanks and impounded water to control most species of algae like filamentous or string algae, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly at (888) 697-2626 or via their website's contact page for questions not addressed on the product label.
Crystal Blue Copper Sulfate cannot be applied directly into a floor drain as it will corrode metal drains. It also needs some water flow to work correctly and must be used before complete stoppage so it can get to the area of root growth. Please refer to the product label for the correct uses for this product.
