Oxy Plus | Hydroponic Oxygen Booster, Root Zone Sanitiser & Nutrient Solution Conditioner

Oxy 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.

Oxy 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.

How It Works

When 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.

With 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.

Key Benefits

• Increases dissolved oxygen in hydroponic nutrient solutions. Replenishes oxygen consumed by roots and microbial activity, maintaining healthy DO levels throughout the grow cycle.
• Supports root respiration and metabolic activity. Higher dissolved oxygen directly improves the efficiency of aerobic root processes and nutrient uptake.
• Acts as a sanitising agent for root zone health. The oxidative action breaks down biofilm and organic waste that accumulates in reservoirs and irrigation lines.
• Helps prevent pathogen development including Pythium. Reduces the anaerobic conditions that allow root rot organisms to establish and spread.
• Reduces organic buildup and biofilm formation. Keeps reservoirs, lines, and root zones cleaner between cycles.
• Suitable for all hydroponic system types. Compatible with DWC, NFT, drip, ebb and flood, and recirculating systems.
• Fast-acting and residue-minimising formulation. Breaks down cleanly in solution without leaving harmful residues at recommended dosage rates.
