Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 26 and October 28.
Atami ATA Clean 5L is a highly concentrated irrigation system cleaner designed to prevent and remove mineral deposits from pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and irrigation pipework. Used at just 0.1ml/L, it helps keep nutrient delivery systems clean, free-flowing and operating efficiently throughout the crop cycle.
Mineral nutrients dissolved in irrigation water can gradually react and form deposits inside a growing system. Atami specifically identifies elements including iron, manganese, calcium and magnesium as substances that can eventually contribute to sediment formation.
ATA Clean works by bonding with these metallic nutrients and helping break down crystals and flakes so that they become easier to carry out of the irrigation system with the water flow.
It can be used both preventatively and curatively, making it useful for routine irrigation-system maintenance as well as systems where mineral residue has already begun to accumulate.
Atami recommends ATA Clean particularly for systems using tap water. Its extremely concentrated 0.1ml/L application rate means a single 5L container can treat approximately 50,000 litres of irrigation water.
Why choose Atami ATA Clean?
- Prevents mineral deposits - helps stop sediment accumulating throughout irrigation systems.
- Removes existing residue - can be used both preventatively and curatively.
- Helps keep drippers clear - supports reliable flow through small irrigation outlets.
- Maintains irrigation pipework - helps reduce mineral accumulation inside irrigation lines.
- Helps protect filters - reduces the build-up of deposits that can restrict water movement.
- Supports pump maintenance - helps keep mineral residue from accumulating throughout the irrigation circuit.
- Helps keep tanks cleaner - suitable for maintaining complete nutrient-delivery systems.
- Breaks down mineral deposits - bonds with metallic nutrients and helps make deposits easier to flush away.
- Especially useful with tap water - specifically recommended by Atami for tap-water irrigation.
- Extremely concentrated - used at only 0.1ml per litre of water.
- Plant-safe at the recommended rate - designed for use as part of an active crop irrigation programme.
- Suitable throughout the crop cycle - system maintenance is not restricted to a particular growth stage.
- Works with nutrient solutions - added after preparing the base nutrient and adjusting pH.
- Commercial 5L format - capable of treating approximately 50,000L of irrigation water.
Why do irrigation systems develop mineral deposits?
Fertigation systems repeatedly carry water containing dissolved mineral nutrients through tanks, pumps, filters, pipes and small irrigation outlets.
Over time, some of these dissolved elements can react and form crystals, flakes and sediment. Atami specifically identifies water-soluble metallic nutrients and ions including iron, manganese, calcium and magnesium as potential contributors to this process.
Accumulation can gradually restrict the internal diameter of irrigation lines, contaminate filters and interfere with small drippers or emitters.
Preventative irrigation-system maintenance helps reduce this accumulation before it becomes severe enough to interfere with water and nutrient delivery.
How does ATA Clean work?
ATA Clean contains substances that bond with metallic nutrients responsible for mineral sediment formation.
Atami explains that this action helps break down crystals and flakes so the resulting material can be more easily carried away with the irrigation water.
This gives ATA Clean two useful functions. Regular preventative use helps minimise new deposits, while curative use can help dissolve and remove residue that has already developed.
Maintaining cleaner internal surfaces helps water continue to move efficiently through the irrigation system.
Helps clean pumps, filters, drippers, tanks & pipes
ATA Clean is intended for maintenance across the complete irrigation circuit rather than one individual component.
Atami's current grow guides specifically recommend ATA Clean for cleaning pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and pipes.
This is particularly valuable in automated irrigation systems where small restrictions can affect individual outlets and create uneven water or nutrient delivery across a crop.
Routine preventative maintenance can therefore help reduce the need to dismantle and manually clean components after heavy mineral accumulation has occurred.
Helps prevent blocked drippers & restricted flow
Drip irrigation systems can be particularly sensitive to mineral accumulation because water must pass through relatively small internal passages and outlets.
Even modest deposits can gradually restrict flow, potentially causing different plants within the same irrigation zone to receive different quantities of water and nutrients.
ATA Clean helps prevent and remove the mineral residue responsible for this type of restriction, supporting more reliable irrigation-system performance.
For commercial and automated crops, maintaining consistent delivery across every dripper can be an important part of maintaining uniform crop performance.
Preventative & curative irrigation cleaning
ATA Clean does not need to be reserved until an irrigation system is visibly dirty or partially blocked.
Atami specifically states that the product can be used both preventatively and curatively.
Preventative use helps control mineral accumulation as part of normal system maintenance. Curative use is intended to help break down deposits that have already formed so they can be discharged with the irrigation water.
For automatic irrigation systems, Atami's current grow guides recommend using ATA Clean in a couple of irrigations each week at 0.1ml/L to clean pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and pipes.
How to use Atami ATA Clean
ATA Clean is extremely concentrated. The current Atami dosage is 0.1ml per litre of water.
Prepare the normal base nutrient solution first. Correct the solution to the required pH where necessary, with Atami giving pH 5.5-6.5 in its ATA Clean application instructions.
Allow the prepared nutrient solution to stand briefly and then add ATA Clean as the final cleaning component.
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.
Because the application rate is so low, accurate measuring equipment is recommended, particularly when preparing smaller reservoirs.
Especially useful with tap water
Atami specifically recommends ATA Clean for use with tap water.
The mineral content of tap water varies considerably by region, and harder water can contain significant concentrations of dissolved calcium, magnesium and other minerals.
These minerals combine with those introduced through fertilisers and can contribute to deposits within irrigation equipment.
Growers operating in mineral-rich water areas can therefore benefit particularly from preventative irrigation-system maintenance.
PK 18-6, but ATA Clean is not a fertiliser
ATA Clean carries a relatively high PK 18-6 W/W value on its product information, but Atami specifically states that it should not be considered a fertiliser.
The reason is the extremely low application rate. At only 0.1ml/L, the quantity of phosphorus and potassium contributed to the final nutrient solution has very little nutritional effect on the plant.
ATA Clean's purpose is irrigation-system maintenance rather than crop feeding.
Growers should therefore continue using the appropriate base nutrient and crop-stage supplements rather than treating ATA Clean as a source of flowering PK nutrition.
Ideal for automatic irrigation & fertigation systems
ATA Clean is particularly useful wherever nutrient solution is repeatedly circulated or delivered through irrigation equipment.
This includes drip irrigation, automatic watering systems, nutrient tanks, pumps, filters and networks of irrigation pipework.
Maintaining these components is particularly important in commercial growing environments where a partial blockage can affect multiple plants or an entire irrigation zone.
Atami's grow guides specifically incorporate ATA Clean into automatic irrigation programmes as a regular system-maintenance product.
ATA Clean vs Atazyme
ATA Clean and Atazyme are sometimes confused because both are associated with maintaining the growing system, but they perform very different jobs.
ATA Clean is an irrigation-system cleaner. It targets mineral deposits and sediment within equipment such as pumps, filters, drippers, tanks and pipes.
Atazyme is an enzyme-based crop additive designed to break down dead plant and root material within the growing medium and support the root-zone environment.
ATA Clean therefore maintains the irrigation equipment, while Atazyme primarily works within the substrate and root zone.
5L ATA Clean for commercial irrigation maintenance
ATA Clean's very low 0.1ml/L application rate makes the 5L container particularly economical for larger irrigation systems and commercial growing areas.
One 5L container contains 5,000ml of concentrate. At 0.1ml/L, this is sufficient to treat approximately 50,000 litres of irrigation water.
For a 100L reservoir, only 10ml is required. A 500L reservoir requires 50ml, while a 1,000L reservoir requires 100ml.
The 5L format is therefore well suited to nurseries, controlled-environment growing areas and other operations running larger or frequently used irrigation systems.
