Athena Cleanse Athena Cleanse contains hypochlorous acids. The mild acid comes from salt, and an exclusive electrochemical process. This unique chemical has powerful oxidative capabilities and can be used in irrigation systems to reduce the mineral scale. The Key Features Use on all stages of plant growth. Work to remove scale from irrigation systems, and reduce residual organic matter It is used to flush out scale buildup in irrigation lines and growing media. TDS very low - Doesn’t affect mineral balance It keeps your irrigation system clean and helps it run more efficiently. What to Use Maintaining your system: Regular Athena Cleanse maintenance will ensure that irrigation systems last longer and work more efficiently. Cleanse is able to dissolve mineral scale, as well as other deposits that have built up in irrigation systems. Regular use Regular maintenance can be done with a mixture of 2-5mL water per gallon. Extreme conditions: For severe media and reservoir conditions, increase the rate of water to 5-10mL/gallon. RDWC, Other Recirculating Hydroponics System: Recirculating and deep water cultivation (DWC), irrigation systems should be treated with Athena Cleanse to remove scale and mineral residue. Cleanse can be used in DWC systems or recirculating water pumps to break down lower solubility materials, like mineral complexes. Athena Cleanse can solve the problem of mineral buildup and lockout, which are two major reasons for nutrient deficiency. Cleanse can be used in DWC systems or recirculating water tanks to break down lower solubility materials, like mineral complexes. Athena Cleanse can help you solve these problems. Mix Media/System Flush: To reduce the residual mineral buildup, use Athena Cleanse in the final flush phase at 5-10mL/gallon. Athena Cleanse is mild in acidity and does not affect plant development. It can therefore be used for descale of irrigation systems at all stages.
