CYCO™ Platinum Series Kleanse — 1 gal

CYCO™ Platinum Series Kleanse (1 gal) — Salt-Clearing Flush Agent for Growing Media and Irrigation System Maintenance

CYCO™ Platinum Series Kleanse is a precision salt-clearing solution formulated to solubilize and flush accumulated micronutrients, cationic salts, and metals from growing environments where mineral buildup reduces the efficiency of nutrient delivery. Over the course of a grow cycle — and especially in recirculating hydroponic systems, heavily fed coco coir media, and container soils — mineral salts accumulate in substrate pores, root zone surfaces, and irrigation system components. This buildup raises media EC beyond the solution EC, creates chemical imbalances in the root zone, and can contribute to nutrient lockout even when feeding schedules are properly managed.

Kleanse addresses this through its chelating and solubilizing chemistry: it binds accumulated cationic salts and metals — including calcium, magnesium, iron, and other micronutrients that have precipitated in the growing medium — and suspends them in solution for removal with drainage water. Unlike plain water flushing, which dilutes surface deposits but has limited penetration into substrate particles, Kleanse actively mobilizes bound mineral deposits for more thorough removal. It is suitable for use across all growing environments and media as part of regular system maintenance, mid-cycle salt management, or pre-harvest clearing within the CYCO Platinum Series system.

Key Features & Benefits

• Salt Solubilization and Clearance: Chelating chemistry actively binds and mobilizes accumulated micronutrients, cationic salts, and precipitated metals in the root zone — enabling more thorough salt removal than plain water flushing alone.
• Restores Root Zone EC Balance: By clearing accumulated mineral deposits, Kleanse helps normalize media EC back toward solution EC, reducing salt stress and restoring the osmotic conditions that support efficient nutrient uptake.
• Irrigation System Cleaning: Effective for clearing mineral scale and salt deposits from drip lines, emitters, reservoir walls, and pump components — maintaining system cleanliness and flow efficiency over long operating periods.
• Compatible with All Growing Media: Suitable for use in coco coir, rockwool, perlite, soil, DWC reservoirs, and all hydroponic growing systems — a single clearing agent for any growing environment type.
• Mid-Cycle and Pre-Harvest Use: Can be applied mid-cycle when elevated media EC or salt stress symptoms indicate buildup, or as a pre-harvest flush to clear accumulated mineral residues before harvest.
• CYCO Platinum Series Integration: Designed to work within the CYCO feeding program as the system's clearing and maintenance component.

Who Should Use This

Kleanse is recommended for indoor cultivators, commercial greenhouse operators, and hydroponic growers who run intensive nutrient programs and want to proactively manage salt accumulation in their growing environments. It is particularly valuable for operators of recirculating hydroponic systems, high-frequency coco coir programs, and commercial facilities where system maintenance and root zone cleanliness directly impact crop consistency and quality across multiple production cycles.

Compatibility

Compatible with all growing media and hydroponic system types. Apply at the recommended rate as a reservoir flush, irrigation drench, or system cleaning solution. For pre-harvest use, follow with a clean water flush to remove residual Kleanse before the final days of the crop cycle. Can be used between crop cycles as a system cleaning treatment. Follow the CYCO Platinum Series maintenance schedule for recommended timing and frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Kleanse differ from plain water flushing?

Plain water dilutes surface salt deposits but has limited effectiveness at solubilizing mineral deposits that have bonded to substrate particle surfaces or precipitated within the root zone. Kleanse uses chelating chemistry to actively bind and suspend these deposits, making them soluble and removable through drainage — providing a more thorough clearing effect than water alone.

When should I use Kleanse during my grow cycle?

Kleanse can be used at multiple points: mid-cycle when media EC is significantly higher than solution EC (indicating salt accumulation), as a scheduled maintenance flush every few weeks in high-feed programs, and as a pre-harvest clearing step in the final 1–2 weeks before harvest. It is also recommended between crop cycles as a system cleaning agent before replanting.

Will Kleanse harm beneficial microbes in my growing medium?

Kleanse is a mineral-clearing product and its effect on beneficial microbes depends on application rate and concentration. Follow label rate guidelines. After a Kleanse treatment, a period of clean water irrigation followed by re-inoculation with beneficial bacteria products (if used) is recommended before resuming full nutrient feeding.

Can Kleanse be used in a recirculating hydroponic system?

Yes. For reservoir cleaning, drain and fill with a Kleanse solution at the recommended rate, circulate for the specified period, then drain completely and refill with fresh nutrient solution. This effectively clears mineral scale from reservoir walls, pump components, and distribution lines.
