{"product_id":"oxy-plus-hydroponic-oxygen-booster-sanitiser","title":"Oxy Plus | Hydroponic Oxygen Booster, Root Zone Sanitiser \u0026 Nutrient Solution Conditioner","description":"\u003cp\u003eOxy Plus is a hydroponic oxygenating additive formulated to increase dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in nutrient solutions while acting as a root zone sanitising agent. In standard conditions, water holds limited oxygen — typically 8 to 10 ppm at room temperature — which is rapidly consumed by plant roots and microbial activity, particularly in warm reservoirs and high-density grow environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxy Plus replenishes available oxygen and helps maintain a biologically controlled root zone environment, improving root function, nutrient uptake efficiency, and overall plant performance across all hydroponic system types. It is especially effective in deep water culture (DWC) systems, recirculating drip setups, and NFT channels where dissolved oxygen levels are critical to plant health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen introduced into a nutrient solution, the active oxygen-releasing compound in Oxy Plus decomposes to release free oxygen (O₂) directly into the solution, increasing dissolved oxygen availability beyond natural saturation limits. This supports aerobic root respiration and creates a mild oxidative environment that breaks down organic waste and biofilm, reduces harmful anaerobic bacteria, and suppresses pathogens such as Pythium — the primary cause of root rot in hydroponic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith improved oxygen levels in the root zone, roots absorb nutrients more efficiently, growth rates stabilise under high demand conditions, and the risk of oxygen depletion in warm reservoirs is significantly reduced. Oxy Plus is fast-acting and leaves minimal residue when used at recommended rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncreases dissolved oxygen in hydroponic nutrient solutions.\u003c\/strong\u003e Replenishes oxygen consumed by roots and microbial activity, maintaining healthy DO levels throughout the grow cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports root respiration and metabolic activity.\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher dissolved oxygen directly improves the efficiency of aerobic root processes and nutrient uptake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActs as a sanitising agent for root zone health.\u003c\/strong\u003e The oxidative action breaks down biofilm and organic waste that accumulates in reservoirs and irrigation lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps prevent pathogen development including Pythium.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces the anaerobic conditions that allow root rot organisms to establish and spread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces organic buildup and biofilm formation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps reservoirs, lines, and root zones cleaner between cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for all hydroponic system types.\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with DWC, NFT, drip, ebb and flood, and recirculating systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast-acting and residue-minimising formulation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Breaks down cleanly in solution without leaving harmful residues at recommended dosage rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Water Culture (DWC) reservoir oxygenation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutrient reservoir sterilisation and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoot zone disease prevention programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm temperature hydroponic systems where oxygen depletion is a risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-density indoor grow environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecirculating hydroponic and NFT systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type.\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxygenating additive and root zone sanitiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive Base.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stabilised oxygen-releasing compound (peroxide-based)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dissolved oxygen enhancement and microbial control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and root zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Compatibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e DWC, NFT, drip, recirculating systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironment.\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor and greenhouse growing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e 1L, 5L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Bought Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, monitor your nutrient solution regularly using the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bluelab-combo-meter-ph-ec-temperature-australia\"\u003eBluelab Combo Meter\u003c\/a\u003e, which measures EC, pH, and temperature in a single instrument — essential for maintaining optimal conditions alongside Oxy Plus.
