Growth Technology - Professional pH Up Liquid 250mL & 1L Bottles (Carton of 12) - Industrial-Tier 50% Potassium Hydroxide Hydroponic Alkaline Modifier (50% KOH)
Take total, uncompromised control over large-scale water chemistry, stop media acidification instantly, and streamline facility supply lines with the Growth Technology Professional pH Up Alkaline Modifier Bulk Carton. Explicitly compiled to meet the heavy, continuous demands of commercial greenhouse ranges, vertical indoor farms, and advanced automated fertigation loops, this commercial-grade liquid alkaliser is the definitive choice for lifting reservoir pH safely. In high-performance cultivation setups, water tanks naturally drift downward in pH due to aggressive plant feeding, root-zone acid exudation, and organic decomposition. If your water parameters drop below the optimal 5.5 to 6.5 band, your crops immediately suffer from catastrophic nutrient lockouts, completely shutting down their intake of essential calcium and phosphorus. The Growth Technology solution resolves this facility vulnerability with extreme efficiency. Formulated at a concentrated industrial density of 50% pure Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), this heavy-duty modifier delivers rapid chemical leverage, neutralising excessive acidity upon contact. Unlike cheap sodium-based adjusters that inject toxic sodium ions into the roots, this technical formulation breaks down into pure potassium (K)—an essential macro-nutrient that drives cellular wall strength, stomatal water regulation, and heavy flower development. Packed in bulk wholesale boxes of twelve 250mL maintenance bottles** or **twelve 1-litre commercial jugs, this product provides a highly cost-effective, long-lasting solution to keep commercial reservoirs perfectly balanced.
Best For: Adjusting large-scale reverse osmosis water holding tanks, filling bulk automated dosing systems, correcting low-pH drift in commercial nutrient reservoirs, and keeping large-scale facilities stocked over extended crop cycles.
Key Features & Technical Advancements
- Industrial-Tier 50% Potassium Hydroxide Density: Engineered at an exceptionally high concentration, meaning a few drops can adjust massive volumes of water, drastically lowering your facility's long-term operational costs.
- Wholesale Bulk Carton Packaging: Shipped in a convenient, heavy-duty storage box containing 12 individual bottles (available in 250mL or 1-litre formats) to keep multi-zone facility tool racks fully stocked.
- Dual-Action pH Elevation and Nutrition: Neutralises root-zone acids while releasing high-grade potassium ions, boosting overall plant stamina, stalk strength, and final crop yield.
- Completely Free of Toxic Sodium Fillers: Formulated without cheap sodium salts, ensuring your irrigation run-off remains clean and free of elements that cause root tip death or salt toxicity.
- Instant Fluid Soluble Dispersion: The premium liquid formula mixes instantly throughout your water storage tanks, avoiding concentrated chemical hot-spots that can shock delicate root networks.
- Highly Visible Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Compliance: Backed by transparent chemical documentation, making it an excellent, reliable addition to strict commercial cultivation SOPs and industrial safety checks.

Advanced Reservoir Modification & Substrate Control Tips
- Executing a Professional Reservoir pH Adjustment Routine: Because this professional fluid is highly concentrated at 50% KOH, you must follow a strict, careful dosing protocol to prevent over-adjusting your water tanks. Always mix your base nutrients, biostimulants, and additives thoroughly into your water reservoir *before* testing or adjusting your pH, as many fertilizers are naturally acidic and will pull your numbers down on their own. Once your nutrient mix is fully dissolved, take an accurate reading with a freshly calibrated pH pen. If the number falls below your target range, dilute a small amount of Growth Technology pH Up into a cup of fresh water first, then pour the diluted mixture slowly into your reservoir near an active mixing pump. Let the tank stir completely for 5 to 10 minutes before taking another reading, adjusting in small increments to reach a perfect balance.
- Root-Zone Hydration and Substrate Coordination: Keeping your irrigation tanks perfectly balanced within an optimal pH range ensures your automated systems deliver stable nutritional profiles, protecting your root zones from severe acid-induced shock. For optimal root health, accelerated nutrient absorption, and uncompromised drainage, route your perfectly verified fertiliser recipes into a high-porosity 70/30 blend of Coco Coir and Horticultural Perlite. To ensure completely uniform irrigation delivery across your entire layout, pressurize your feed lines using a heavy-duty Plont PPH Submersible Pump managed by an automated digital shot-timer.
- The Buffer Equation: Why High-Concentration Adjusters Outperform Cheap Alternatives: Cheap, watered-down pH adjusters force greenhouse technicians to use large amounts of fluid just to move a reservoir a few points. This constant pouring introduces un-buffered chemical swings and fills your reservoir with unnecessary water volume, which causes the water chemistry to slide back down hours later. Growth Technology’s 50% concentration offers massive chemical leverage, altering water parameters with tiny doses. This creates a highly stable, long-lasting chemical balance that keeps your water rock-solid over multi-day feeding schedules.
- Industrial Handling Safety and Storage Best Practices: Due to its high-density 50% Potassium Hydroxide composition, Growth Technology pH Up is a highly caustic chemical that must be handled with appropriate safety gear. Technicians should always wear chemical-resistant gloves, an apron, and protective eyewear when measuring or pouring this concentrate. Never store this fluid in direct sunlight or un-insulated rooms; keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry chemical cabinet locked between 15°C and 25°C. Always secure the cap tightly immediately after use to prevent the solution from drawing carbon dioxide out of the air, which can slowly lower its chemical strength over time.
Ideal For (Uses)
- Commercial Water Reservoir Management: The definitive alkaline modifier choice for large-scale agricultural facilities looking to stabilize and raise the pH of massive reverse osmosis water holdings.
- Automated Dosing System Integration: Ideal for technical cultivation teams who need a premium, residue-free liquid concentrate to fill the alkali tanks of automated inline dosing equipment.
- Advanced Crop Lifecycle Tuning: An exceptional component selection for heavy-fruiting crops like tomatoes, berries, and leafy greens that require a clean, sodium-free source of potassium to support aggressive growth.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.
Lead Times:
- In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
- Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.
While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
