All the Aptus System Clean bottles do not come with a foil seal. This is because they contain organic material and some of these materials need to breathe from the vented cap they put on.
System-Clean is a powerful oxidizer that prevents microbial attacks, line blockages and nutrient build up in irrigation systems. A clean irrigation system improves growth and development of plants (especially in the root system) by allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the plant without affecting the ph.
Unabsorbed nutrients (organic leading to biofilm and mineral leading to salt) can build up in the cultivation system. These remaining nutrients acidify (lower pH) the growing medium, increasing the chance of microbial attack by providing nutrition for pathogens

KEY INGREDIENTS
- 7.9% food grade stabilised H202.
In The Box
- [1] x Aptus System-Clean - 500ML / 1L / 5L / 20L | Plant Safe Irrigation Line Clean
WHY USE SYSTEM-CLEAN?
- Prevents loss of nutrients and oxygen in irrigation systems (improves efficiency of irrigation system and plant absorption).
- Removes build-up of biofilm/salt in irrigation systems (prevents nutrient build-up).
- Adds extra oxygen to the root zone (increases dissolved oxygen levels).
- Removes source of pathogens.
EDUCATION
SYSTEM-CLEAN helps maintain a healthy irrigation system by removing built-up biofilm/salt and keeping high levels of oxygen in the nutrient solution.
NOTE: The SYSTEM-CLEAN formula sold in Australia, New Zealand and Japan differs from the formula sold in North America. Both formulas are oxidisers and perform in the same way, they just vary in concentration and have differing dilution instructions.
ABOUT
SYSTEM-CLEAN is a powerful oxidiser that prevents microbial attacks, line blockages and nutrient build-up in irrigation systems. A clean irrigation system improves growth and development of plants (especially in the root system) by allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the plant without affecting the pH.
Unabsorbed nutrients (organic leading to biofilm and mineral leading to salt) can build up in the cultivation system. These remaining nutrients acidify (lower pH) the growing medium, increasing the chance of microbial attack by providing nutrition for pathogens.
HOW TO USE
- Add SYSTEM-CLEAN to the nutrient tank at 0.25 ml per 1L of water. SYSTEM-CLEAN will last for a maximum 3 days in the nutrient solution.
- If your nutrient mix stands for more than 3 days, mix SYSTEM-CLEAN to the entire amount of water in the nutrient tank to help minimise biofilm/salt and residue build-up.
DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- With every tank/reservoir: 0.25 ml per 1L
- System flush/clean between cycles: 0.5 ml per 1L

Q: Will SYSTEM-CLEAN harm the microbial life in my substrate?
A: Absolutely not. SYSTEM-CLEAN has been formulated to ensure it does not compromise the micro-life within your substrate. You can seamlessly incorporate it into your nutrient blend without any adverse effects on microbial ecosystems.
Q: What is the primary function of SYSTEM-CLEAN?
A: SYSTEM-CLEAN serves as a fortified oxidizer. Its primary purpose is to ensure the cleanliness and efficiency of your irrigation systems, sprayers, drippers, and feed rings. Furthermore, it supports substrate well-being and supplies optimal levels of dissolved oxygen, essential for plant health.
Q: How much dissolved oxygen does SYSTEM-CLEAN introduce?
A: Upon initial mixing (using a ratio of 0.25 ml to 1 litre or 1:4000), SYSTEM-CLEAN supplements your feed water with an additional 9ppm of dissolved oxygen. Considering municipal water inherently contains between 6-8ppm of dissolved oxygen, this means you achieve a cumulative concentration of 15-17ppm. Such levels of dissolved oxygen not only enhance the health of your irrigation and fertigation systems but also boost plant vitality and metabolism.
Q: Is SYSTEM-CLEAN recommended for organic growing?
A: Absolutely. Organic matter and biofilm tend to use up oxygen, which can reduce the oxygen levels available at the root. By employing SYSTEM-CLEAN, either routinely or with every nourishment cycle, you ensure the cleanliness of the fertigation systems and decrease the oxygen consumption. This results in a higher oxygen delivery to the root zone, vital for plant health.
- Dissolved oxygen levels below 4ppm can be harmful or even fatal to plants.
- A level of 5ppm is deemed adequate.
- 8ppm is recognized as desirable.
- Ranges between 9-30ppm are considered beneficial for plant growth.
- However, levels exceeding 30ppm might pose threats to the microbial ecosystem.
Q: When is the ideal time to incorporate SYSTEM-CLEAN into my tank?
A: For optimal results, it is recommended to introduce SYSTEM-CLEAN to your tank water either initially, before adding any other products, or as a final step before making pH adjustments.
