Root Rot X is an additive for use in hydroponic systems to everything clean and running properly. The active ingredient, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCI) is an effective biocide with incredible bactericidal, fungicidal, viricidal and sporicidal properties. It keeps nasty microbes away from the system that could quickly colonise around roots, causing rot to set in. Root Rot X is ideal for use in RDWC, DWC, Flood and Drain, NFT and many other systems, where it will keep pipework and pots clear of biofilms and pathogens. It is 99.9999% effective against all stages of bacterial colonisation and will quickly neutralise any threat of attack.
Root Rot X uses the purest form of Hypochlorous acid, and the formula puts it at the perfect concentration. This makes it more stable in the bottle and for 12 months after manufacture, even when opened.
