The Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 is a copper-specific sequestrant for pools, formulated to help bring dissolved copper under control before it causes visible damage to your water, surfaces, and swimmers.
What Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 is for
Excess copper in pool water is a surprisingly common problem – and one that’s easy to misdiagnose. The Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 targets dissolved copper directly, helping to stabilise it in solution and reduce the risk of the staining and discolouration it causes.
Left unchecked, copper in pool water can leave lilac or greenish stains on grout lines, the waterline, and pool walls. Swimmers with light, bleached, or chemically treated hair may notice a greenish tint after bathing. Light-coloured swimwear can also pick up unwanted colour changes – all classic signs that copper is the culprit.
Copper Out works by sequestering the copper ions already present in the water, keeping them stable and preventing them from oxidising onto surfaces or interacting with hair and fabric.
Dosage and how to apply Piscimar Copper Out
Apply Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 directly to the pool water whenever copper-related symptoms appear, or as a preventive measure if your water source or equipment is known to introduce copper.
Recommended dosage
- Initial treatment: 1 L per 100 m³ of pool water.
- Maintenance: 0.5 L per 100 m³ every 30 days, or as needed depending on copper levels.
Step-by-step application
- Confirm copper is the issue – look for lilac staining, greenish hair tints, or discoloured swimwear as telltale signs.
- Pour Copper Out directly into the pool water, distributing it around the perimeter at the recommended dose.
- Keep the filtration system running so the product circulates evenly throughout the pool.
- Monitor surfaces and water appearance over the following days.
- Continue with the maintenance dose if copper is a recurring issue in your pool.
What to expect after applying Piscimar Copper Out
Once applied, Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 works to stabilise dissolved copper in the water, reducing the likelihood of fresh staining on surfaces and minimising the effects on hair and swimwear.
Where copper is genuinely the root cause, regular treatment helps keep surfaces cleaner, protects light-coloured fabrics from discolouration, and reduces the green-hair effect that copper-rich water can cause – particularly for swimmers with blonde, bleached, or highlighted hair.
If staining is already deeply embedded in the pool surface, a dedicated stain-removal treatment may also be needed. Think of Copper Out primarily as a control and prevention product – it manages copper in the water, not marks already set into the finish.
Why choose Piscimar Copper Out for copper problems in your pool
The Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 makes sense when you’ve identified copper as the specific issue – not algae, not iron or manganese, not organic debris. It’s a targeted solution rather than a catch-all metal sequestrant.
Key reasons to choose it:
- Copper-specific sequestrant – formulated for copper, not a broad-spectrum product diluted across multiple metals.
- Helps prevent lilac and greenish staining on grout, waterlines, and pool walls.
- Reduces the risk of swimwear discolouration caused by copper in the water.
- Helps protect hair from the green tints associated with elevated copper levels.
- Chlorine-stable formula – remains effective in chlorinated water for long-lasting action.
- Suitable for prevention and ongoing maintenance where copper is a known issue.
If your pool has problems with iron, manganese, or a mix of metals, a broader metal sequestrant may be the better fit.

Frequently asked questions
What does Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 actually do?
It sequesters dissolved copper in pool water, keeping it stable in solution so it can’t oxidise onto surfaces or affect hair and swimwear. It’s a control and prevention product, not a stain remover.
How do I know if my pool has a copper problem?
The most common signs are lilac, purple, or greenish stains on grout lines, the waterline, or pool walls – and green tints in the hair of swimmers with light or bleached hair. Discolouration of pale swimwear is another indicator.
Will Copper Out remove stains that are already on the pool surface?
Copper Out controls copper in the water and helps prevent new staining. For stains already set into the surface, you may need a dedicated stain-removal product alongside it.
What is the correct dosage for Piscimar Copper Out?
Use 1 L per 100 m³ for the initial treatment. For ongoing maintenance, apply 0.5 L per 100 m³ every 30 days, adjusting if copper levels remain elevated.
How do I apply Copper Out to my pool?
Pour the product directly into the pool water at the recommended dose. Keep the filtration running while you do so – this ensures even distribution throughout the water.
Can Copper Out prevent green hair from swimming?
It can help. Green hair in swimmers – especially those with blonde, bleached, or highlighted hair – is often linked to dissolved copper in the water. By sequestering that copper, Copper Out reduces the risk, though it won’t reverse colour changes that have already occurred.
Does Copper Out protect light-coloured swimwear?
Yes, where copper is the cause of discolouration. It reduces the risk of copper-related colour changes to pale or white swimwear, provided the water chemistry is properly maintained alongside treatment.
What’s the difference between Copper Out and Ion Magnetic?
Copper Out is formulated specifically for copper. Ion Magnetic is a broader metal sequestrant covering iron, manganese, cobalt, and other metals. If copper is your only issue, Copper Out is the more targeted choice.
Is Copper Out an algicide or clarifier?
No. Piscimar Copper Out PM-655 is a copper-specific sequestrant only. It does not replace chlorine, bromine, active oxygen, algicide, clarifier, or pH correction products.
Is Copper Out safe to use in liner and polyester pools?
Yes. Copper Out is suitable for pools with liner, polyester, mosaic tile, and concrete finishes. Always follow the label instructions and apply with filtration running.
What if the staining isn’t caused by copper at all?
If the staining comes from iron, manganese, algae, leaves, sunscreen, or oils, Copper Out is unlikely to resolve it. Identifying the actual source of the staining first will save you time and money – our team can help with that diagnosis.
