My friend Cathy gifted me these bird bath copper disks for both of my birdbaths, and now I barely spend any time cleaning algae. I was ready to give up—maintaining them had become too much work. Now I just change the water—no more scrubbing or bleaching!
Best. Gift. Ever.
They’re super inexpensive, and I wish I’d known about them sooner. I’ve spent so much time scrubbing those baths over the years.
Compatibility notice: Copper disks work only with non-metallic basins such as stone, plastic, nylon, or composite materials. Do not use them with metal basins (alloy or iron), as metal reacts with copper ions and cancels the copper’s purifying effect.
Look—no algae!

My birdbath with a copper purification disk that naturally helps keep the water clear and algae-free. The copper releases ions that inhibit algae growth without harming birds. I put my solar water fountain (not shown) over the disk so it isn’t visible.
