Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 26 and October 28.
Atami ATA Clean 1L is a highly concentrated irrigation system cleaner designed to prevent and remove mineral deposits from pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and irrigation pipework. Used at only 0.1ml/L, it helps keep nutrient delivery systems clean, free-flowing and operating efficiently.
Fertigation systems repeatedly carry water containing dissolved mineral nutrients. Over time, minerals including iron, manganese, calcium and magnesium can contribute to the formation of sediment, crystals and scale inside irrigation equipment.
ATA Clean is formulated to bond with these metallic nutrients and help break down the resulting crystals and flakes, making the residue water-soluble again so it can be discharged with the irrigation water.
It can be used preventatively and curatively, helping reduce new deposits while also tackling mineral residue that has already formed.
Atami recommends ATA Clean particularly for use with tap water. At the recommended 0.1ml/L dosage, one 1L bottle can treat approximately 10,000 litres of irrigation water.
Why choose Atami ATA Clean?

Why do irrigation systems develop mineral deposits?
Nutrient solutions contain dissolved minerals that must repeatedly travel through reservoirs, pumps, filters, pipes and irrigation outlets before reaching the crop.
Over time, some of these dissolved elements can form sediment, crystals and scale. Atami specifically identifies water-soluble metallic nutrients and ions such as iron, manganese, calcium and magnesium as potential contributors.
These deposits can gradually accumulate on internal surfaces, restrict irrigation lines and interfere with small drippers and nozzles.
Maintaining a clean irrigation system helps preserve water flow and reduces the risk of individual outlets becoming restricted by mineral accumulation.
How does Atami ATA Clean work?
ATA Clean contains substances that bond with the metallic nutrients responsible for mineral sediment formation.
Atami explains that the product helps break down crystals and flakes and make residue water-soluble again, allowing it to be carried out of the system with the irrigation water.
This allows ATA Clean to perform two useful maintenance functions. Preventative application helps control deposits before they become significant, while curative application can help remove residue that has already developed.
Regular maintenance is particularly valuable in systems with narrow irrigation lines and small dripper outlets where even relatively modest deposits can affect water flow.
For pumps, filters, drippers, tanks & pipes
ATA Clean is designed for maintenance across the complete irrigation circuit rather than for one individual component.
Atami's current grow guides specifically recommend it for cleaning pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and irrigation pipes.
This makes it particularly useful for automatic fertigation systems where one reservoir may supply numerous plants through a network of pipes and emitters.
Keeping these components free from excessive mineral residue supports more consistent water and nutrient delivery throughout the irrigation network.
Helps prevent clogged drippers & irrigation lines
Drip systems can be particularly vulnerable to mineral accumulation because water must pass through narrow internal channels and small outlets.
As deposits accumulate, water pressure and flow rate can be affected. Eventually, severe build-up can lead to partially or completely blocked irrigation outlets.
ATA Clean helps control the mineral deposits responsible for these restrictions, supporting efficient operation of drip irrigation and other nutrient-delivery systems.
This can be especially important in larger crops where a restricted dripper may otherwise be difficult to identify immediately.
How to use Atami ATA Clean
Atami recommends ATA Clean at 0.1ml per litre of water.
Prepare the normal base nutrient solution first and correct the pH if required. Atami specifies a pH range of 5.5-6.5 in its ATA Clean application guidance. Allow the base nutrient solution to stand briefly before adding ATA Clean.
At 0.1ml/L, use 1ml for 10L, 5ml for 50L, 10ml for 100L, 50ml for 500L and 100ml for 1,000L of irrigation water.
One 1L bottle therefore provides enough concentrate for approximately 10,000 litres of irrigation water.
Accurate measuring equipment is recommended when preparing smaller reservoirs because ATA Clean is used at a very low concentration.
Preventative & curative irrigation maintenance
ATA Clean can be incorporated before an irrigation system develops a serious blockage.
Atami describes the product as suitable for both preventative and curative use. Preventative application helps minimise mineral accumulation, while curative application helps break down deposits that have already formed.
Atami's current grow guides recommend using ATA Clean at 0.1ml/L in a couple of irrigations each week when maintaining automatic irrigation systems.
This regular low-dose approach helps maintain pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and pipes without waiting for severe mineral accumulation to develop.
Especially useful with tap water
Atami specifically recommends ATA Clean for systems using tap water.
The mineral composition of tap water varies considerably between areas. Harder water can contain significant levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium, which can contribute to scale and mineral residue within irrigation equipment.
These source-water minerals combine with the mineral elements introduced through fertilisers, increasing the importance of irrigation-system maintenance.
Growers in hard-water areas can therefore benefit particularly from a preventative cleaning programme.
PK 18-6, but not a plant fertiliser
ATA Clean carries a PK 18-6 W/W analysis, but Atami specifically states that the product is not considered a fertiliser.
This is because ATA Clean is used at only 0.1ml/L. At such a low concentration, the phosphorus and potassium contained in the product have very little nutritional effect on the plant.
Its primary function is to maintain irrigation equipment by controlling mineral deposits rather than to supply crop nutrition.
Growers should therefore continue using the appropriate base nutrient and crop-stage supplements rather than treating ATA Clean as a PK flowering feed.
Ideal for automatic irrigation & fertigation
ATA Clean is particularly useful in systems where nutrient solution regularly passes through pumps, filters, pipes and small irrigation emitters.
Automatic irrigation can save substantial labour and provide consistent crop watering, but it also makes system reliability especially important.
Mineral deposits can affect pressure and flow within these systems. Keeping internal components cleaner helps maintain reliable nutrient delivery and can reduce maintenance associated with blocked irrigation equipment.
ATA Clean can be incorporated into irrigation maintenance from the early stages of a crop rather than waiting for visible scale or blockages to appear.
ATA Clean vs Atazyme
ATA Clean and Atazyme are both useful for maintaining growing systems, but they target different types of material.
ATA Clean is primarily an irrigation-system cleaner. It targets mineral-based scale and sediment within pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and pipes.
Atazyme is an enzyme-based additive that helps break down old and dead root material and other organic debris within the growing environment.
ATA Clean therefore focuses on mineral deposits within irrigation equipment, while Atazyme performs an enzyme-based role associated with the substrate and root zone.
1L ATA Clean for up to 10,000L of irrigation water
ATA Clean's very low 0.1ml/L application rate gives the 1L bottle excellent treatment capacity.
One bottle contains 1,000ml of concentrate and can therefore treat approximately 10,000 litres of irrigation water.
This makes the 1L format suitable for hobby and professional growers using automatic irrigation, drip systems and nutrient reservoirs without requiring the larger 5L or 10L commercial formats.
The 1L format is supplied in outer cases of 12 bottles.
