ATHENA CLEANSE

Athena Cleanse is made from the ideal (and safe) root zone optimizing agents: hypochlorous acid. This mild and 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 build-up. These special properties reduce mineral fouling in irrigation systems.

Characteristics:

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

How to use

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

Regular use:
Use a diluted mixture of 2-5 ml per 3.78 liters of water for regular maintenance.

Severe conditions:
Increase the rate to 5-10 ml per 3.78 liters of water to combat severe storage conditions and growing medium.

Cuttings/Clones:
Athena Cleanse is a must have for all cloning machines and fresh cuttings. Dip fresh cuttings in Cleanse solution (10 ml per gallon) to improve cellular 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 full of tiny root hairs.

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

RDWC and other recirculating hydroponic systems:

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

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

Media/System Wash Mix:

Athena Cleanse at a rate of 5-10 ml / gallon of water during the final wash stage to help reduce residual mineral build-up in the culture 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 build-up.

Foliar applications:

Mix 375 ml of cleaning per 3.78 liters of water and spray evenly. Test a small area first to make sure there is no damage.

Surface treatment/cleaning:

Spraying growing surfaces, work areas and irrigation equipment with a diluted solution of Athena Cleanse (375 ml per 3.78 liters) helps maintain a clean and trouble-free environment free of toxic and dangerous chemicals. Maintain operational excellence and extend the life of equipment, such as irrigation system filters, by running treated water through the system regularly.
