I would discourage the use of copper sulphate. First of all experience teaches there is a tendency to overdose. Second the copper sulphate will not fully dissolve. In the Ntherlands the use of copper in footbaths is forbidden, because of environmental reasons.
If you are allowed to use copper, then look for liquid forms. There are mixtures of liquid copper and zinc containing products which are easy to use and at much lower dosages than the coppersulphate.
