Ecothrive Neutralise is our quick, simple and cost-effective way to improve the quality of your tap water by instantly removing chlorine and chloramine. No need to let your tap water stand for 24-hours or to invest in expensive filtration equipment. Just add a few drops of Neutralise and you’re good to grow!
Healthy root systems start with good quality water. However, tap water across the UK contains chlorine and chloramine—powerful disinfectants that help to keep our tap water safe to drink. The problem is when these disinfectants come into contact with plants and attack the beneficial biology in and around the roots, potentially lowering nutrient uptake and the effectiveness of microbial products such as Biosys.
Water purification can be expensive, time-consuming and wasteful—and the ‘old method’ of letting tap water stand for 24-hours is no longer valid as many municipalities have switched to the more persistent ammonia-based chloramine.
Just a few drops of Neutralise and your tap water is ready to use. Neutralise helps growers to optimise the health of their soil and is also beneficial to coco and hydroponic growers as a pre-treatment for irrigation water and nutrient solutions.
Neutralise has been formulated to actively target the presence of chlorine and chloramine in tap water.
Chlorine compounds are very reactive, killing microbes by oxidation. They will readily oxidise enzymes, proteins, bacteria and other living microorganisms. Unfortunately they do not distinguish between the “bad biology” and beneficials, so chlorine and chloramine can potentially knock back the crucial development of the microbiome in your growing media.
The active ingredient in Neutralise is concentrated Vitamin C, a totally safe ingredient for your soil and plants. When Neutralise is added to chlorinated water, the Vitamin C is rapidly oxidised by the chlorine and chloramine. In this process, the chlorine compounds are reduced to chloride, which is harmless to microbes. Chloride is also a micronutrient, required by plants in trace amounts.
Don’t hold your garden back by using chlorinated water, allow it to thrive with Neutralise!
