Hypo Source 7.5 Hypochlorous Acid Generator

Hypo Source 7.5 Hypochlorous Acid Generator

NEW Hypo 7.5 Hypochlorous Acid Generator. Make 2 gallons HOCl in 8 minutes

The Hypo 7.5 was inspired by our work in Africa.  It is a rugged 7.5 liter (2 gallon) batch unit that can make 500 ppm in 20 minutes or 200 ppm in 8 minutes. Run the machine twice on the 500 cycle to produce 1,000 ppm. Made in USA but with worldwide AC power input, it is simple to use and requires only salt, water, vinegar and electricity. We provide a 5 year or 2,000 hour warranty. 

An optional lithium battery pack with a 100w solar module is also available for off-grid use. The Hypo 7.5 is CE certified and conforms to EN 61010 – 1, DIRECTIVE 2014/35/EU, BS EN/EN55015, BS EN/EN61000-3-2, and BS EN/EN61000-3-3.

Why buy the Hypo 7.5?

If you are buying hypochlorous acid on the internet for $30 per gallon, consider investing in a Hypo 7.5. The Hypo can make 2 gallons of 500 ppm in 20 minutes and is warranted for 5 years or 2,000 hours of use. 

We are sure you can do the math, but the Hypo can make you $360,000 worth of hypochlorous acid just during the warranty period.  We think that is a no-brainer.

Included in the box: universal plug adapters, test strips, measuring spoon, spray bottle, and instruction sheet

Product Dimensions: 38.1 cm x 38.1 cm x 50.8 cm (15" x 15" x 20")

Simply combine water and salt in the pitcher, activate the system, and in just minutes, witness the transformation into a potent, all-natural disinfectant capable of swiftly eliminating COVID, E. Coli, and other harmful pathogens.

Versatility by swapping out the salt for food-grade potassium carbonate, to unleash a premium degreaser perfect for tackling oily surfaces with ease.

Hypochlorous acid is a non-toxic multipurpose solution for all aspects of a hydroponic system. It's the most effective form of chlorine and has a neutral pH, low TDS, and is organic-approved by the USDA. Hypochlorous is the active ingredient in popular brands such as Athena Cleanse, Current Culture's Clear Line, UC Roots, and Plant Aid. (For reference, Current Culture's Clear Line is 1500 ppm and Athena Cleanse is 280 ppm.)

What can hypochlorous acid do? It's a root zone optimiser, pre-germination seed soak, equipment sanitiser, biofilm eliminator, descaler, antifungal, sporicidal, produce rinse, cuttings dip, growing media cleanser, and algae inhibitor.

Dosage: Hypochlorous acid can be added directly to water systems, deep water culture tanks, flood tables, hydro-buckets, and misters. Free available chlorine levels should not exceed 5 ppm at the plant root.

Descaling: Use 5 ppm in a recirculating system or 500 ppm for flush to waste.

Root zone optimisation: Aim for 2-4 ppm in a recirculating system.

Equipment sanitation: Use a 200 ppm dip or soak.

Growing media: Soak in 200 ppm for over 10 minutes, then rinse with water.

Cuttings: Aim for a 10 ppm dip.

Seed sanitiser: Soak in 2 ppm.

Produce wash: Use 50-100 ppm, dependent on the type of produce.

Using hypochlorous acid as an agricultural pesticide

If you're a hobby gardener, a horticulturalist, or a house plant owner, you're likely familiar with plant pests. They come in many shapes and sizes--powdery mildew, spider mites, aphids, root rot, you name it. Fungal diseases can spread like wildfire in a greenhouse, and once they've taken root, they are virtually impossible to control. Hypochlorous acid works best as a preventative measure to stop outbreaks from ever occurring.

Most pesticides contain a long list of harmful chemicals, and often the ones that don't aren't very effective. Even so-called natural pest controls can lead to problems such as pesticide resistance or harmful runoff effects.

How do you treat a plant infestation without poisoning your plants, your pets, or yourself? I'm sure you know where this is going! Hypochlorous acid works well as a fungicide against powdery mildew, gray mould, algae growth, and other fungal infestations.

A study done by the University of Georgia showed that hypochlorous acid reduced powdery mildew on gerbera daisies in a commercial greenhouse setting by over 40% when applied multiple times a week. Research by Hong et al (2003) found that free chlorine concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 2 ppm could kill the zoospores of Phytophthora nicotianae, capsici, P. cinnamomi, P. citricola, P. citrophthora, P. cryptogea, and P. megasperma. Researchers in Colombia found that Botrytis cinerea, another major plant pest, could be inactivated by 50 ppm of hypochlorous acid after 6 minutes.

A study by the University of Guelph found that chlorine concentrations of 2 ppm were strong enough to eliminate Pythiaceae pathogen variants. This is great news for anyone in the commercial greenhouse or hydroponic industry, as hypochlorous acid provides you with a three-in-one product: fungicide, line cleaner, and root zone enhancer all at once.

Another one of the most common greenhouse pests are fungal gnats and aphids. While there is currently only anecdotal evidence for the efficacy of hypochlorous against insects, we do know that hypochlorous can reduce insect concentrations in a different way. Insects are often attracted to plants that already have some form of algae or fungus nearby for them to live in. Using hypochlorous regularly can reduce or remove those environments entirely, thus keeping the pest populations down to a minimum.

While hypochlorous is safe to spray on plants and add to their water sources, it is important to monitor the chlorine levels. Chlorine concentrations of over 4 ppm can have detrimental effects on the plant system, and long-term exposure of greater than 2 ppm hypochlorous can also be toxic to some plants. We always recommend testing hypochlorous on a small sample of plants before applying it to your entire crop.
