Ecothrive Neutralise – Instant Water Conditioner for Tap Water Dechlorination

Best for: Growers using beneficial microbes who need to remove chlorine and chloramine from tap water instantly

Ecothrive Neutralise is a concentrated water conditioner that removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water instantly using Vitamin C. A few drops is all it takes. The active ingredient oxidises chlorine compounds into harmless chloride, preserving the beneficial microbes you're paying good money to add to your rootzone. It's the quickest, cheapest way to condition your water without buying expensive filtration kit.

How it compares

There are three main ways to dechlorinate tap water. Here's where Neutralise sits:

• Passive aeration (24-48 hour wait): Free chlorine evaporates, but chloramine doesn't budge. Slow and unreliable.
• Water filtration systems: Effective but expensive upfront; activated carbon filters struggle with chloramine.
• Chemical dechlorinator (Neutralise): Instant, works on both chlorine and chloramine, no equipment needed, costs pennies per use.

Direct competitors like Seachem Prime and Microbe Life Dechlorinator do similar jobs, but Neutralise is simpler, cheaper, and formulated specifically for growers using beneficial microbes. No heavy metal detoxification claims, no electrolyte additives — just what you actually need.

Usage guidance

This is genuinely simple. One drop per litre of water, stir, done.

Standard dosing
Add 1 drop (roughly 1/20th of a ml) per litre of tap water. Stir vigorously for a few seconds. The chlorine is neutralised instantly.

For larger batches
If you're treating nutrient solution or filling a tank, use 1ml per 20 litres. Same principle, bigger scale.

Heavy chlorine water
If your tap water is heavily chlorinated (over 0.6mg/l total chlorine — rare but possible), double the dose: 2 drops per litre or 1ml per 10 litres.

Sequence matters
Add Neutralise first, before you add nutrients, boosters, or adjust pH. It won't affect your final pH or EC meaningfully, but doing it in the right order keeps things clean.

Works with beneficial microbes
This is the whole point. Add Neutralise to your water, then add Biosys, Dynomyco, Mykos, or whatever microbial product you're using. The microbes survive and thrive because the chlorine's already gone.

Compatible with all systems
Soil, coco, hydro — doesn't matter. Works in hand-watered pots, drip systems, NFT, DWC. Use it with any brand of nutrient. It won't precipitate anything or cause compatibility issues.

Technical specifications

• Active ingredient: Vitamin C (citric acid from fermentation)
• Available sizes: 50ml, 250ml, 1 litre
• Dosage: 1 drop per litre (1ml per 20 litres for bulk treating)
• Treatment capacity: Handles up to 0.6mg/l total chlorine at standard dose
• pH effect: Mildly acidic; reduces soft tap water pH by ~0.1, negligible effect on moderate or hard water
• EC effect: None
• Compatibility: Does not affect nutrient stability, pH buffers, or other additives

Who this is for

• Growers adding beneficial microbes (Biosys, Dynomyco, Mykos, etc.) who want to protect their investment
• Anyone on a budget who doesn't want to buy a water filter
• Growers with chloramine in their tap water (passive aeration won't work)
• High-volume growers who hand-water multiple pots or rooms
• Organic and natural growers who want to avoid complex water treatment
• Hydro, coco, and soil growers equally — system doesn't matter

Our take

This solves a real problem that most new growers don't even know they have. You buy beneficial microbes to boost your rootzone, then pour chlorinated tap water over them and kill half of what you just paid for. Neutralise stops that happening for the price of a cup of tea.

If you're using any kind of microbial product, you need this. If you're not, you probably still should be. Good time to pick up while stock lasts — it's cheap insurance that actually works.
