Cupramine and UV

I know that the 2 are not compatible, but can you please detail the reasons for me?

Thank You!

Re: Cupramine and UV

Cupramine is a ionic copper bond to an amine. Being bonded like this makes the ionic copper safe at higher levels. UV light breaks this bond. This releases ionic copper at a dangerous level. This is why we recommend to turn off your UV sterilizers.
