    EDTA will not remove Cu. It may bind to it but the Cu will still be in your water. Using a heavy metal removing product is your best bet like Seachem Cuprisorb.

    You should go for distillation and reverse osmosis treatment for treating the water mixed with copper. Copper intake can result into stomach problem and nausea problem.
