FeCl is used as a floculent in sewage treatment. CuSO4 is in toilet sewage
pipe un-blocker tablets (root-rot). Used etchant is a very good weedkiller
and root killer for blocked pipes.

Because i'm using a bubble etcher, i just top up the etchant with HCl and
am using the same etchant for 2 years. It never gets 'spent'.
