Is this just copper sulfate which can be bought pure for much less?

I think Robert has a good idea there.But, I checked on ebay and the Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate 99% was $10/pound, the same price as this product (now $20 for 2 pounds). So it works out the same cost wise.

There is this product on Amazon: 2LBS Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Powder Currently $12.97 for 2 pounds. Anyone know if that would work?

It may very well be. I'm no chemist and years ago a plumber told me on the sly after having to enlist his services to clear our sewer line for the umpteenth time that copper sulfate would do the trick. He didn't tell me the amount to use and I was a C- chemistry student in school. He retired about that time and I went along calling "Roto-Rooter" until I found this stuff in a catalog and bought it. I have a bottle that I'm going to dump in my system for the six month dose and the label indicates it is 99% Copper sulfate pentahydrate and 1% "other ingredients". I have used it for years now and have never had to make a service call to have my line "snaked". I've stayed with it because it has worked for me all these years and also because my ignorance of chemistry keeps me from wanting to use an inappropriate dose of copper sulfate that might screw up the pipes leading to the sewer and cost a large out of pocket expense for repairs. I hope that's helpful. Good luck!

Yes and not all sulfate hair products are good. This one is both sulfate free and good - it's worth it.

I don't see the ingredients listed on my bottle of Copperbrill. I have a decent amount of experience with copper cleaners and I have found that this product works better than every other product I have used, without question. I use Barkeepers Friend cleaner for gritty jobs as it has some scrubbing power and it costs a lot less than Copperbrill, but it cannot make a shine like Copperbrill. Also, somehow the Copperbrill is not hard on the hands. It is a very good product, at a cost, however. For me the cost is worth it for the copper pots. It must be like some kind of magic so they can charge a premium, but it works. I don't see the ingredients listed on my bottle of Copperbrill.

No, it's about 10%. Most what you buy in the stores is 3% so this is pretty strong. I use it in cleaning solutions that remove copper and lead. It gets the job done!!

Have just used for my cars. This is pure Carnuba wax. So, if a copper sink recommends the use of a Carnuba Wax, then you are fine. If not, I wouldn't take the chance for fear of damage and/or wasting a lot of money.

Yes it is solid copper. It can be used for dish network, however, it is not officially dish network approved.

There are no sulfates. There are about 5 lines of ingredients-the first is water, the rest is...well, five lines worth......

I do not know. I purchased this for one purpose. I do not use any other products,because of allergies to all sulfate.but once I got it I realized it has other things in it I can not use,so I do not use it.

This is pure copper wire and it works great. No aluminum at all. Just braided copper.

The important question is "Is it as as good as sulfur?" My is NO, it is not as good as sulfur! I don't know what the analysis really is, just what the say it is. I will not buy it again.

Doesn't look like copper to me, but you can find out by going to the manufacturers website.

No it is not. I have used sulphate free shampoo and this product is just a good or better.

To the best of my knowledge, it is the real deal, but I would question if any such product, natural ground material, is completely pure, merely close. For example, natural salt is not completely pure, yet praised for its mineral impurities as well. I have no reason to believe this product is any different. Since I'm using mine for chickens outside, it is not an issue. Best of luck with the product.

I think it is 100% pure! However, I truly have nothing to go on, but I did a ton of research and found the company I bought from is a great supplier. As one of the other posters said maybe ask the seller and see what else you can dig up.

I believe all of their products are sulfate-free. They are also 100& Vegan.

According to its prescription, it is pure. I can't really tell if there are impurities as I've never tried other brands before.
