Description
Athena Cleanse is made from Hypochlorous acid. This mild acid is derived from salt and a proprietary electrochemical treatment process. The result is a unique, plant-safe chemical with powerful oxidative properties to prevent mineral buildup, increase Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP), and descale irrigation systems.
Key Features
- Non-toxic and non-nutritive – safe to use on plants in any stage of growth
- Works to descale irrigation systems and decompose residual organic matter
- Effective as a final flush to remove mineral buildup (scale) in growing media and irrigation lines
- Very low TDS – does not throw off mineral balance
- Keeps irrigation system cleaner and running efficiently for longer
How To Use
System Maintenance:
Irrigation systems that are regularly maintained with Athena Cleanse treatment will last longer, and run more optimally throughout. This is because Athena Cleanse helps break down scale, mineral buildup, and other inanimate organic matter that has been lodged in the system.
Regular Use:
Use a dilute mixture of 2-5 mL of Athena Cleanse per gallon of water for regular maintenance.
Severe Conditions:
Increase rate to 5-10 mL per gallon of water for combating severe reservoir and growing media conditions.
RDWC and Other Recirculating Hydroponics Systems:
Any recirculating or deep water culture (DWC) irrigation system should use Athena Cleanse to remove mineral residue and reduce scale.
Using Athena Cleanse in a recirculating or DWC system helps break down materials with lower solubility ratings, such as mineral complexes that are no longer available to plants. Mineral buildup and lockout is a major cause of deficiencies and plant health problems – solve these issues with Athena Cleanse.
Media/System Flush Mix:
Use Athena Cleanse at a rate of 5-10 mL per gallon of water during the final flush stage to help reduce residual mineral buildup in the growing media.
This procedure may be used at any time during vegetative or flowering phases if the growing media or irrigation system develops mineral imbalance or unwanted buildup.
Foliar Applications:
Mix 375 mL of Athena Cleanse per gallon of water and spray evenly. Test on a small area first to ensure no damage.
SurfaceCleaning:
Spraying cultivation surfaces, work areas and irrigation equipment with a dilute solution of Athena Cleanse (375 mL per gallon) helps maintain a clean environment without toxic and dangerous chemicals. Maintain operational excellence and extend equipment life, such as irrigation system filters, by running treated water through the system regularly.
