Key benefits Keeps bird bath water clearer for longer — reduces the need for daily scrubbing while still supporting a regular deepclean schedule. Natural, passive action — uses 99.99% pure copper to help maintain water cleanliness without chemicals or electricity. Simple and costeffective — 0.6 mm thick copper plate: place in the bird bath and it begins working, reducing reliance on extra cleaning tools. How it works The 99.99% pure copper plate leverages copper's natural properties to help inhibit buildup and keep water fresher between cleanings. It is a supplemental, passive watermaintenance aid and does not routine water changes or scheduled deep cleanings (recommended weekly or every two weeks). Compatibility and safety For use only with nonmetallic washbasins (ceramic, plastic, stone, concrete, resin, etc.). Do not use with metal washbasins (alloy or iron). Metals can react with copper ions and reduce the plate's effectiveness. Material and performance Material: 99.99% pure copper. Thickness: 0.6 mm — durable enough for continuous use in a bird bath while remaining easy to handle. Performance: Begins working immediately when placed in the basin; helps maintain cleaner water between full cleanings. Use scenarios Backyard bird bath: Place the copper plate in a garden or patio bird bath to help keep water clearer between scheduled cleanings. Balcony or small outdoor fountain: Use in small decorative basins to reduce algae and organic buildup in confined water features. Wild bird feeding stations: Combine with regular maintenance to keep water safer and more attractive to visiting birds. Care and maintenance Continue regular maintenance: perform a deep clean of the bird bath once a week or every two weeks depending on use and local conditions. Rinse the copper plate with clean water if needed; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plate. Store dry when not in use. Notes This plate supports water maintenance but does not disinfect water or standard cleaning practices. Not suitable for use inside metal basins (alloy/iron) due to chemical interaction that diminishes effectiveness.
