Protocols by water type and use
CHLOREX is applied directly to the irrigation system via a Venturi injector or dosing pump, with no need for specialised equipment. Doses vary by goal: continuous dosing, shock treatment or tank disinfection.
CHLOREX application protocols
Continuous Irrigation Water Treatment
Continuous dosing to keep water free of pathogens throughout the cycle. Applied via Venturi injector or dosing pump before the irrigation head.
40–65 ml/m³ · 0.3–0.45 ppm ClO₂Shock Treatment
One-off high dose to clean pipes, remove established biofilm and disinfect the irrigation network between seasons or after contamination is detected.
3–5 ppm ClO₂ · 30 minutesPond and Tank Disinfection
Treatment of stored water before distribution. Eliminates pathogens, algae and suspended organic matter. Renew the dose weekly.
1–2 ppm ClO₂ · Weekly maintenanceSeedbed Treatment
Disinfection of irrigation water in seedbeds and trays to prevent damping-off caused by Pythium and Rhizoctonia from the germination stage.
0.3–0.5 ppm ClO₂ · ContinuousSimple activation in 4 steps
CHLOREX comes as two stable components that are mixed on site to generate chlorine dioxide at the time of application. No special equipment required.
Mix
Add the 5L of CHLOREX (B) to the 20L container of CHLOREX (A) in an 80/20 ratio.
Shake
Close the cap and shake for 10 seconds. Loosen slowly to release the pressure generated.
Rest
Leave to stand for at least 7 hours to complete the ClO₂ activation reaction.
Check
Shake again for 10 seconds. Note the activation date. Ready to inject into the irrigation system.
