Hypochlorous Acid for Hydroponics

Keeping Irrigation Lines & Growing Surfaces Clean, Safely & Easily

Since 2020, Current Culture H2O has supplied growers with Hypochlorous Acid for Hydroponics. Clear Line 5x, is the most concentrated form available today, delivering 1500+ PPM of HOCl. Typically applied at just 0.5–1.0 ml per US gallon, Clear Line 5x is safe for plants, people, and the environment when used as directed.

Why Use Hypochlorous Acid in Hydroponics?

Clear Line 5X works seamlessly with nearly all irrigation systems, fertigation programs, and hydroponic or aeroponic setups. It helps prevent and reduce mineral deposits (“scale”) that can restrict flow rates and limit root absorption.

Because irrigation systems represent a major investment, keeping them clean is critical. Clogged lines and emitters reduce efficiency, introduce unpredictable variables, and—if left unchecked—can even prevent crops from receiving adequate water. This can lead to damaged plants or full crop losses.

Cost-Effective & Trusted by Professionals

Adding hypochlorous acid for hydroponics is simple and highly affordable. The cost of full-strength applications is around $0.02 per gallon (less in commercial sizes) of nutrient solution or water (see chart).

Some of the world’s most stringent growers, including Health Canada licensed producers, rely on hypochlorous acid for its proven benefits:

• No reduction in flow rates throughout the crop cycle
• Cleaner growing surfaces and irrigation lines
• Reduced salt build-up in the root zone
• Safe, simple application
• Less labor required for between-crop cleanups and maintenance

Wide Applications Across Crops & Systems

Clear Line 5x is used successfully in strawberries, tomatoes, peppers (capsicum), herbs, and licensed cannabis. It’s also ideal for popular systems, including:

• Drip irrigation
• Deep Water Culture (DWC) & Recirculating DWC (RDWC)
• High-Pressure Aeroponics (HPA)
• Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
• Rockwool, coco coir, peat mixes
• Vertical growing systems
