Description
Growth Technology OxyPlus 50% Hydrogen Peroxide for Hydroponics & System Sanitisation
Professional-Strength Oxygenating, Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution
Growth Technology OxyPlus is a highly concentrated 50% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) solution designed for hydroponic growers who require superior root-zone hygiene, increased dissolved oxygen, and professional system maintenance.
As hydrogen peroxide naturally breaks down into water and oxygen, OxyPlus releases oxygen directly into the nutrient solution, helping maintain healthy root conditions while improving nutrient uptake. At the same time, its powerful oxidising action helps sanitise hydroponic systems by breaking down organic matter, biofilm, algae, bacteria, fungi, and other contaminants that can affect plant performance.
OxyPlus is an invaluable maintenance product for hydroponic systems, reservoirs, irrigation lines, pumps, drippers, propagation equipment, and growing containers, making it an essential addition to any serious grower's toolkit.
Important: OxyPlus contains 50% hydrogen peroxide and must always be handled with appropriate safety precautions.

Benefits
Improves Root Oxygenation
As OxyPlus decomposes, it releases dissolved oxygen directly into the nutrient solution, supporting healthy root respiration and nutrient uptake.
Maintains Cleaner Reservoirs
Regular applications help reduce organic contamination and maintain a cleaner nutrient solution throughout the growing cycle.
Helps Prevent Root Problems
By reducing microbial activity within nutrient reservoirs, OxyPlus helps maintain a healthier environment for plant roots.
Sanitises Hydroponic Equipment
Ideal for disinfecting reservoirs, tanks, irrigation lines, fittings and hydroponic equipment between crops.
Removes Organic Build-Up
Its oxidising action helps break down accumulated organic matter, biofilm, algae and slime inside hydroponic systems.
Multi-Purpose Maintenance Product
Suitable for routine reservoir maintenance, deep system cleaning, equipment sterilisation and emergency root-zone hygiene.
Common Uses
OxyPlus can be used for a wide range of hydroponic maintenance applications, including:
- Oxygenating hydroponic nutrient solutions
- Maintaining healthy root zones
- Reservoir sanitisation
- Cleaning nutrient tanks
- Disinfecting hydroponic systems between crops
- Cleaning irrigation lines and pipework
- Sanitising drippers and irrigation emitters
- Cleaning pumps and filters
- Removing organic slime and biofilm
- Reducing algae build-up
- Root-zone hygiene maintenance
- General hydroponic equipment sanitisation
How OxyPlus Works
Hydrogen peroxide is an unstable molecule that naturally decomposes into water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂).
When added to a nutrient reservoir, this process increases dissolved oxygen available to plant roots while simultaneously creating a strong oxidising reaction that helps destroy organic contaminants.
Unlike many chemical sanitisers, hydrogen peroxide leaves no harmful residue, breaking down into water and oxygen after completing its reaction.
Application Rates
| Application | Rate |
|---|---|
| Maximum Root Treatment | 1ml per 5L nutrient solution |
| Preventative Reservoir Maintenance | 1ml per 10L nutrient solution |
| System Cleaning & Sterilisation | 1ml per 1L water |
Reservoir Maintenance
For ongoing oxygenation and reservoir hygiene, add:
1ml per 10 litres of nutrient solution.
Apply approximately twice per week or as required.
Root-Zone Treatment
Where increased sanitising action is required, use:
1ml per 5 litres of nutrient solution.
This provides approximately 100ppm hydrogen peroxide, the maximum recommended concentration for use around established roots.
Cleaning & Sterilising Hydroponic Systems
Mix:
1ml per litre of water
Circulate or soak the solution throughout reservoirs, irrigation lines, pumps and growing equipment.
Allow approximately 2 hours of contact time before thoroughly rinsing with clean water prior to refilling with fresh nutrient solution.
Suitable Applications
OxyPlus is ideal for cleaning and maintaining:
- Hydroponic reservoirs
- Nutrient tanks
- Irrigation lines
- Drip systems
- Pumps
- Filters
- Pipework
- Growing trays
- Propagation systems
- Net pots
- Hydroponic containers
- Growing equipment between crops
