Hydrogen Peroxide 50% - Professional Grade Oxidizer - 1 Litre

Product Overview

Professional-grade 50% Hydrogen Peroxide solution in a convenient 1-litre bottle. This concentrated oxidizing agent is an essential tool for maintaining clean, healthy growing environments in hydroponics, aquaponics, aquaculture, and fish pond systems. Our pharmaceutical-grade formula ensures maximum effectiveness while being safe for plants and aquatic life when used correctly.

Key Benefits

Root Health & Oxygenation

  • Increases dissolved oxygen levels in nutrient solutions and water systems
  • Prevents and treats root rot by eliminating harmful anaerobic bacteria
  • Promotes vigorous white root development

Disease Prevention

  • Controls algae growth in reservoirs, tanks, and pond systems
  • Eliminates harmful pathogens, bacteria, and fungi
  • Prevents biofilm formation in irrigation lines and equipment

Water Quality Enhancement

  • Breaks down organic waste and debris
  • Reduces ammonia and nitrite levels in aquaculture systems
  • Improves water clarity and reduces odours

System Maintenance

  • Cleans and sterilizes equipment without harmful residues
  • Prevents clogging in drip lines and spray nozzles
  • Extends equipment lifespan by preventing bacterial buildup

Applications & Dosage Guidelines

Hydroponics

Routine Water Treatment:

  • Mix 1-2ml of 50% H2O2 per 4 litres of nutrient solution
  • Add weekly during reservoir changes
  • Monitor dissolved oxygen levels with DO meter

Root Rot Treatment:

  • Emergency dose: 3-4ml per 4 litres of solution
  • Apply directly to affected root zone if possible
  • Replace nutrient solution after 24-48 hours

System Cleaning:

  • Mix 10ml per litre for equipment sterilization
  • Circulate for 30 minutes, then flush thoroughly
  • Use between growing cycles

Aquaponics

Routine Maintenance:

  • Add 1ml of 50% H2O2 per 10 litres of system water
  • Apply bi-weekly or when dissolved oxygen drops
  • Monitor fish behaviour closely after application

Algae Control:

  • Spot treatment: 2-3ml per 10 litres in problem areas
  • Never exceed 5ml per 10 litres total system volume
  • Apply during evening hours to minimize plant stress

Fish Ponds & Aquaculture

Oxygen Emergency:

  • Quick dose: 2-4ml per 10 litres for low oxygen situations
  • Apply near aeration points for rapid distribution
  • Monitor fish for stress signs

Disease Prevention:

  • Preventive dose: 1ml per 15 litres weekly
  • Increase to 1ml per 10 litres during high-risk periods
  • Always apply gradually over 10-15 minutes

Pond Cleaning:

  • Maintenance dose: 2ml per 10 litres monthly
  • Target areas with organic buildup
  • Best applied during cooler parts of the day

Safety Precautions & Handling

IMPORTANT: 50% Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent requiring careful handling.

Personal Protection:

  • Always wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses
  • Use in well-ventilated areas only
  • Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing
  • Have eyewash station or clean water readily available

Mixing Guidelines:

  • Always add H2O2 to water, never water to H2O2
  • Use plastic or stainless steel containers only
  • Mix slowly to prevent rapid temperature rise
  • Never mix with other chemicals

Storage Requirements:

  • Store in original container in cool, dark location (below 25°C)
  • Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight
  • Ensure cap is tightly sealed to prevent decomposition
  • Keep away from organic materials and metals

Application Best Practices

Timing:

  • Apply during evening hours to minimize UV breakdown
  • Allow 4-6 hours between applications if multiple doses needed
  • Monitor systems for 24 hours after application

Water Parameters:

  • Test pH before application (optimal range: 6.5-7.5)
  • Check dissolved oxygen levels with DO meter if available
  • Monitor temperature (cooler water holds more dissolved oxygen)

Signs of Overdosing:

  • Fish gasping at surface or showing distress
  • Plant leaf burn or yellowing
  • Excessive foaming in water
  • If overdose suspected, increase aeration and perform partial water change

Compatibility & Interactions

Safe to Use With:

  • Most hydroponic nutrients (apply separately)
  • Beneficial bacteria supplements (apply 24 hours apart)
  • pH adjusters and buffers
  • Standard aquaculture treatments (consult timing)

Do Not Mix With:

  • Chlorine or chloramine treatments
  • Organic fertilizers or supplements
  • Iron-based products
  • Any other oxidizing agents

Storage & Shelf Life

  • Unopened shelf life: 12 months when stored properly
  • Once opened: Use within 6 months for maximum potency
  • Store between 2-25°C away from light
  • Natural decomposition rate: ~1% per month in ideal conditions
  • Test concentration periodically with test strips if long-term storage

Professional Results

When used correctly, 50% Hydrogen Peroxide delivers:

  • 30-50% increase in dissolved oxygen levels
  • Significant reduction in root diseases and algae growth
  • Improved plant vigour and faster growth rates
  • Cleaner, healthier aquatic environments
  • Extended equipment life through regular maintenance

WARNING: This is a concentrated industrial chemical. Read all safety data sheets before use. Not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children and pets. In case of emergency, contact poison control immediately.
