CLEAN UP
PH Up + ORP Enhancer WHAT IS IT? Front Row Ag Clean Up is a wettable, dry soluble water conditioner that increases Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) and alkalinity, raising pH in a variety of irrigation systems The potassium carbonate adds alkalinity, safely and consistently raising pH of the feed solution. The calcium hypochlorite dissociates into hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite to increase ORP of the feed solution
WHY USE IT? Clean Up’s primary function is as a “pH up”, raising feed pH and increasing the stability of the feed solution. It’s a perfect pH up adjuster for RO tap water up to 120 ppm carbonate/ bicarbonate The secondary function is to increase the ORP of the feed solution. Research at UC Davis Ag Extension Dept. performed by Dr. Trevor Suslow has shown that maintaining proper water chemistry is essential for nutrient and irrigation efficiency.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
USAGE NOTES
• The carbonates in Clean Up combine with acid (H+) ions in the fertilizer solution to form CO2 and H2O, raising pH and increasing the buffering capacity of the solution.
• We recommend using a 0.2-2% injector and making stock concentrate at 6 g/L.
• The hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid function to raise the ORP of the solution, increasing water potential, nutrient uptake, and nutrient availability. CLEAN UP USAGE TABLE Direct to Res (g/L)

• Stronger stock concentrates are possible but require much longer mixing times • Use a corded drill or impeller style mixer for best solubility. • For Direct to Res, add in steps of 0.01 g/L, mixing for 5-15 minutes between additions until target pH is achieved. • Addition of more Clean Up than required to achieve target pH can results in fallout, filter build up, and clogged emitters. Use the minimum amount required.
*Due to customer feedback and requests for shorter mixing time we suggest using 6 g/L. Customers can use higher rates, but will need to consider longer mixing times.
