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
