Athena Cleanse is made from the ideal (and safe) root zone optimizing agents: Hypochlorous Acid. This gentle, safe acid is derived from salt and a proprietary electrochemical treatment process. The result is a unique, plant-safe chemical with powerful oxidizing properties to keep the root zone clean and free of unwanted organic and mineral buildup. These special properties reduce mineral scale in irrigation systems.

Features:

•    Non-toxic and non-nutritive – safe for use on growing plants
•    Works to descale irrigation systems and break down residual organic matter
•    Effective as a final flush to remove mineral buildup (scale) in growing media and irrigation lines.
•    Very low TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) – will not upset mineral balance
•    Effective as a final rinse to clean growing media
•    Keeps irrigation system cleaner and running efficiently longer
•    Reduces mineral build-up in media and lines.

How to Use

System Maintenance:

Irrigation systems that are regularly maintained with Athena Cleanse treatment will last longer and perform more optimally at all times. This is because Cleanse helps break down scale, mineral build-up, and other organic matter that has lodged itself in the system.

Regular Use:

Use a diluted mix of 2-5ml per 1 gallon of water for regular maintenance.

Severe Conditions:

Increase the rate to 5-10ml per 1 gallon of water to combat severe stock and growing media conditions.

Cuttings/Clones:

Athena Cleanse is a must for all cloning machines and fresh cuttings. Dip fresh cuttings in a solution of Cleanse (10ml per gallon) to improve cell health and boost immunity. Seedlings and cuttings treated with Cleanse have more vigor and are more likely to grow into robust plants. The roots of plants treated with Cleanse will be bright white and filled with tiny root hairs.

These special properties reduce mineral scale in irrigation systems and growing media.

RDWC and other recirculating hydroponic systems:

Any recirculating irrigation or deep water culture (DWC) system should use Athena Cleanse to remove mineral debris and reduce scale. Irrigation water treated with Cleanse has a reduced risk of developing problems often associated with overwatering and insufficient oxygen levels, such as anaerobic microbial growth and biofilm buildup.

Using Cleanse in a recirculating or DWC system helps break down materials with lower solubility rates, such as mineral complexes that are no longer available to plants. Mineral buildup and blockage is a leading cause of plant deficiencies and health issues – solve these problems with Athena Cleanse.

Media/System Flush Mix:

Add Athena Cleanse at a rate of 5-10 ml/gallon of water during the final flush stage to help reduce residual mineral buildup in the growing medium.

This procedure can be used at any time during the vegetative or flowering phases if the growing medium or irrigation system develops a mineral imbalance or unwanted buildup.

Foliar Applications:

Mix 12 oz (375 ml) of cleanse per 1 gallon (3.78 liters) of water and spray evenly. Test a small area first to ensure there is no damage.

Treating/Cleaning Surfaces:

Spraying growing surfaces, work areas and irrigation equipment with a diluted solution of Athena Cleanse (375 ml per 3.78 litres) helps maintain a clean, trouble-free environment without toxic and hazardous chemicals. Maintain operational excellence and extend the life of equipment such as irrigation system filters by running treated water through the system regularly.
