House & Garden - Drip Clean – 1 Litre Precision Salt-Bonding & Irrigation Maintenance Catalyst
House & Garden Drip Clean is a specialised, highly effective additive engineered to eliminate the most common cause of nutrient lockout and irrigation failure: mineral salt build-up. Drip Clean operates at a molecular level, forming a powerful ionic bond with nutrient salts to keep them in a soluble, mobile state. This prevents minerals from precipitating and encrusting onto your root system, growing medium, or delicate irrigation components. By using Drip Clean from the very beginning of your cycle, you ensure that nutrient pathways remain wide open and your drippers stay free of blockages. This proactive approach significantly reduces the need for aggressive system flushes and ensures that every drop of nutrient solution reaches your plants with maximum efficiency.
Best For: Preventing mineral salt accumulation in all growing media, protecting irrigation drippers and lines from blockages, reducing the frequency of system flushes, and maintaining optimal nutrient mobility in the root zone.
Key Features
- Advanced Ionic Bonding Technology: Strategically binds to mineral salts, preventing them from "locking up" in the substrate or forming hard scales inside irrigation tubing.
- Precision Dripper Protection: Specifically designed to keep high-tech irrigation systems, drip emitters, and manifolds running at peak performance without clogging.
- Optimised Root Uptake: By keeping salts mobile, it ensures that your plants can easily access and absorb nutrients, preventing the "salt-choking" that lead to deficiencies.
- Minimal System Maintenance: Drastically reduces the buildup of biofilm and mineral deposits, extending the life of your pumps and plumbing while making final flushes easier.
- Highly Concentrated & Cost-Effective: Requires an extremely low dosage rate to provide full-cycle protection, making it an essential and economical addition to any professional feeding programme.
Specifications
- Brand: House & Garden

Ideal For (Uses)
- Automated Drip Systems: An absolute necessity for growers using automated irrigation, ensuring consistent flow rates and preventing dry spots caused by clogged emitters.
- High-EC Feeding Regimes: Excellent for intensive feeding programmes where high concentrations of mineral salts would otherwise lead to rapid medium saturation and lockout.
- Media Conditioning: Use throughout the growth cycle to ensure your substrate—whether coco or rockwool—remains free of toxic salt accumulations, promoting a healthier and more vibrant rhizosphere.
Oversized Item Delivery Options
Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method

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.
