Ecothrive Neutralise 250ml is a highly concentrated water conditioner designed to rapidly neutralise chlorine and chloramine in tap water before irrigation. Ideal for living soil and biologically active growing systems, Neutralise helps protect beneficial microorganisms by removing residual disinfectants before treated mains water reaches the root zone.

Chlorine and chloramine are routinely used by water suppliers to control microorganisms within mains water. While this is important for drinking-water hygiene, the same antimicrobial action is not necessarily desirable when growers are deliberately maintaining populations of beneficial bacteria and fungi.

Neutralise provides a simple and highly economical solution. Add a small amount to tap water and it rapidly dechlorinates the water, allowing it to be used immediately without leaving reservoirs standing for extended periods.

This is particularly valuable for living soil, organic cultivation and microbial growing programmes, but Neutralise can also be used to condition source water for coco and hydroponic systems.

At Ecothrive's recommended rate of 1ml per 20 litres of water, the 250ml bottle can treat approximately 5,000 litres of tap water.

Why remove chlorine from irrigation water?

Chlorine is used in mains water because it is an effective disinfectant. Its purpose is to control microorganisms as water passes through the distribution network.

In living soil and biologically active growing systems, however, growers are deliberately encouraging microorganisms within the root zone.

Beneficial bacteria, fungi and other organisms contribute to decomposition, nutrient cycling and the conversion of organic materials into plant-available forms.

Conditioning chlorinated tap water before irrigation therefore removes an unnecessary source of antimicrobial activity before the water reaches the soil.

Why chloramine needs proper water treatment

Leaving tap water standing has traditionally been used by growers as a simple way of reducing free chlorine.

The limitation is chloramine. Chloramine is considerably more persistent in water and does not dissipate as readily as free chlorine.

This means that filling a reservoir and leaving it overnight is not a reliable method of dealing with all disinfectants that may be present in mains water.

Ecothrive Neutralise is designed to neutralise both chlorine and chloramine, giving growers a straightforward method of conditioning their source water before use.

Protect the biology in living soil

A productive living soil contains a complex biological community working around plant roots and throughout the growing medium.

These organisms help break down organic matter, cycle nutrients and support the processes that make biologically active cultivation possible.

Neutralise allows growers to condition mains water before irrigation so chlorine and chloramine are neutralised before the water reaches this microbial ecosystem.

It is particularly useful when using beneficial bacteria, fungi, microbial inoculants, compost extracts and other biological root-zone products.

Ideal for Ecothrive Biosys & microbial products

Ecothrive recommends using dechlorinated water when preparing Biosys, its concentrated microbial inoculant.

When using mains water, Neutralise should be added first so chlorine and chloramine are neutralised before beneficial microorganisms are introduced.

The same principle applies to other microbial inoculants and biological root-zone products. Treating the source water first helps avoid exposing newly introduced microorganisms directly to residual disinfectants.

How to use Ecothrive Neutralise

Use 1ml of Ecothrive Neutralise per 20 litres of tap water, equivalent to 0.05ml/L.

Add Neutralise directly to the source water and mix thoroughly. The product acts rapidly, so there is no requirement to leave the treated water standing before use.

When preparing a nutrient or microbial solution, add Neutralise to the water first. Once the water has been conditioned, add nutrients, supplements and biological products in their normal mixing order.

Ecothrive Neutralise dosage calculations

At the standard application rate of 1ml per 20L:

  • 20L water: 1ml Neutralise
  • 50L water: 2.5ml Neutralise
  • 100L water: 5ml Neutralise
  • 200L water: 10ml Neutralise
  • 500L water: 25ml Neutralise
  • 1,000L water: 50ml Neutralise

The low application rate makes Neutralise extremely economical, particularly for growers who prepare irrigation water regularly.

250ml treats approximately 5,000 litres of water

A 250ml bottle of Ecothrive Neutralise can condition approximately 5,000 litres of tap water at the recommended rate of 1ml per 20L.

That is equivalent to approximately:

  • 250 x 20L treatments
  • 50 x 100L treatments
  • 10 x 500L treatments
  • 5 x 1,000L treatments

This makes the 250ml size a useful middle ground for regular growers who need substantial treatment capacity without moving up to a commercial 5L container.

Suitable for soil, coco & hydroponics

Living soil

Neutralise is especially valuable in living soil, where beneficial microorganisms are central to decomposition, nutrient cycling and root-zone function.

Organic soil cultivation

Condition tap water before applying microbial inoculants, biological amendments, compost extracts and other biologically active inputs.

Coco coir

Neutralise can be used to condition mains water before preparing coco nutrient solutions, particularly where microbial additives form part of the growing programme.

Hydroponics

Growers using tap water can condition their source water before preparing a hydroponic nutrient reservoir.

Propagation

Useful for preparing conditioned water for seedlings, cuttings and young plants, especially where beneficial microbial products are being used.

What Neutralise does and does not do

Ecothrive Neutralise is specifically designed to deal with chlorine and chloramine. It should not be confused with a reverse-osmosis system or complete water purification treatment.

It does not remove the calcium, magnesium and other dissolved minerals responsible for water hardness or background EC.

Where the objective is specifically to condition mains water for living soil, microbial products or irrigation, Neutralise provides a much simpler approach than processing the entire water supply through specialist filtration equipment.

Ecothrive Neutralise 250ml FAQs

What does Ecothrive Neutralise do?

Ecothrive Neutralise rapidly conditions tap water by neutralising chlorine and chloramine before the water is used for irrigation or biological growing products.

Does Ecothrive Neutralise work on chloramine?

Yes. Neutralise is designed for both chlorine and chloramine, making it more reliable than simply leaving tap water standing to allow free chlorine to dissipate.

How much Ecothrive Neutralise should I use?

Use 1ml per 20 litres of tap water. Add Neutralise to the source water first and mix before adding microbial products or preparing the rest of the growing solution.

How much water does Ecothrive Neutralise 250ml treat?

At the recommended rate of 1ml per 20L, a 250ml bottle can treat approximately 5,000 litres of tap water.

Why should I dechlorinate water for living soil?

Living soil relies on beneficial microorganisms. Because chlorine and chloramine are disinfectants, neutralising them before irrigation helps avoid unnecessarily exposing the soil's biological community to antimicrobial compounds.

Can I leave tap water standing instead of using Neutralise?

Standing water can help free chlorine dissipate, but chloramine is much more persistent. Neutralise provides a direct method of dealing with both chlorine and chloramine.

Can I use Neutralise with Ecothrive Biosys?

Yes. Dechlorinated water is recommended when preparing microbial products such as Ecothrive Biosys. Treat the tap water first, then add the microbial product.

Should Neutralise be added before nutrients?

Add Neutralise to the source water first. Once the water has been conditioned, nutrients, supplements and biological products can be added in their normal mixing sequence.

Can Ecothrive Neutralise be used in coco?

Yes. It can be used to condition chlorinated mains water before preparing irrigation or nutrient solutions for coco-grown plants.

Can Ecothrive Neutralise be used in hydroponics?

Yes. Neutralise can be used to condition mains water before preparing a hydroponic nutrient reservoir.

Is Neutralise useful during propagation?

Yes. It can be used to condition water for seedlings, cuttings and young plants, particularly when beneficial microbial products are part of the propagation programme.

Does Neutralise reduce hard-water EC?

No. Neutralise targets chlorine and chloramine. It does not remove the dissolved calcium, magnesium and other minerals responsible for water hardness and background EC.

Does Ecothrive Neutralise replace reverse osmosis?

No. Reverse osmosis removes a broad range of dissolved substances from water. Neutralise has the much more specific purpose of neutralising chlorine and chloramine.

Why choose the 250ml Neutralise bottle?

The 250ml format offers approximately 5,000L of water treatment capacity, making it a practical size for regular growers, larger living soil systems and growers preparing medium-sized irrigation reservoirs.
