Shock

Shock is an advanced irrigation cleaning solution designed to remove stubborn scale and mineral deposits from irrigation systems and water lines. Its fast-acting, highly concentrated formula enhances water flow, improves system efficiency, and extends equipment lifespan. Engineered for growers, Shock delivers the reliability and performance needed to maintain a pristine irrigation system with ease.

Key Advantages of Shock 

• Rapid System Flush: Works in just 1.5 hours, ensuring minimal downtime and keeping your irrigation system running efficiently.
• Superior Cleaning Power: High concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) and HEDP actively break down scale, mineral buildup, and metal deposits.
• Affordable & Effective: Delivers high-performance cleaning at a lower cost than competitors, making it a cost-effective choice for growers.
• Long-Term Maintenance: Prevents future buildup and keeps irrigation lines clear, reducing the need for frequent cleanings.
• Safe & Environmentally Friendly: Non-corrosive to equipment and breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues.

Shock delivers stronger, faster, and more affordable cleaning than competing products, ensuring your irrigation system operates at peak efficiency.

Key Differences from Competitors 

• More Powerful Formula: Shock contains a higher concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) compared to competitors’, delivering stronger oxidation power to break down deposits more effectively.
• Higher Chelating Strength: Shock also contains a higher concentration of HEDP (Etidronic Acid) compared to competitors’, providing better scale chelation, prevention, and long-term system protection.
• Cost-Effective: Despite its higher active ingredient concentrations, Shock is more affordable than competitors, giving growers better performance at a lower cost.
• Faster Cleaning Action: Works in just 1.5 hours, significantly reducing downtime, making it a faster, more efficient choice.

Active Ingredients & How They Work 

Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂): 

A powerful oxidizer that breaks down stubborn deposits, hydrogen peroxide is essential for maintaining clean irrigation systems:

• Dissolves scale and mineral residues that obstruct water flow.
• Enhances system performance by clearing pathways for water and nutrients.
• Breaks down into water and oxygen, ensuring eco-conscious operation.
• Reduces wear and tear caused by blockages, helping equipment last longer.

Etidronic Acid (HEDP):  

A robust chelating agent, etidronic acid delivers safe and effective descaling:

• Binds to calcium, magnesium, and other mineral ions, ensuring thorough removal of scale.
• Prevents new scale deposits from forming, maintaining consistent system efficiency.
• Protects equipment by reducing corrosive damage caused by mineral buildup.
• Ensures stable performance in a range of pH conditions, making it versatile and reliable.

How It Works: 

Shock’s dual-action formula combines the oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide with the chelating strength of HEDP:

1. Oxidation (H₂O₂): Hydrogen peroxide targets and breaks apart mineral and metal residues, loosening deposits that restrict water flow and system efficiency.
2. Chelation (HEDP): Etidronic acid binds to mineral particles, dissolving them completely and preventing redeposition during the flushing process.
3. Comprehensive Flushing: System is then purged with clean water and the combination of these actions ensures that all deposits are dislodged, dissolved, and flushed out effectively, leaving the irrigation system clean and optimized for peak performance.

This synergistic process not only removes existing buildup but also protects your system from future deposits, maintaining long-term efficiency.

Application Instructions 

For optimal irrigation system maintenance, select the treatment level that best fits your system’s needs:

Heavy Treatment (Recommended for growers using organic inputs, heavy nutrient blends, or experiencing frequent clogs and buildup)

• Mix 74 mL (2.5 fl. oz) per 4 L (1 gallon) of water.

Light Treatment (Ideal for growers running clean lines, such as Drip Hydro FLUIDS or POWDERS, with minimal clogging issues)

• Mix 37 mL (1.25 fl. oz) per 4 L (1 gallon) of water.

Application Steps 

1. Apply the solution to your irrigation system.
2. Let it sit for 1.5 hours to break down deposits.
3. Flush the system thoroughly with clean water to remove loosened particles and waste.
4. For systems with heavily clogged emitters, allow the solution to sit for a longer duration if needed to ensure full breakdown and removal of stubborn buildup.

Important: Maintain pH below 2.0 for best results. Do not use Shock while plants are present in the system.
