Claims18
An apparatus comprising
- a water-permeable, water-flow-restrictive protective outer covering,
- a reticulated foam substrate encased by said water-permeable, water-flow-restrictive protective outer covering;
- and
- copper and zinc fines adhered to said reticulated foam substrate;
- wherein the water-permeable, water-flow-restrictive protective outer covering increases residency time of water proximate the substrate relative to the residency time of the reticulated foam substrate without the water-permeable, water-flow-restrictive protective outer covering when in use.
