Why pH matters
Why lower the pH of irrigation water
In much of Spain, irrigation water is hard and alkaline, with a pH that is usually between 7.5 and 8.5. At such high levels, many nutrients (especially iron, manganese, and phosphorus) become locked in the soil, and the plant cannot absorb them, even if they are present. The most common symptom is chlorosis: yellowing leaves with green veins.
Adjusting the pH of the water to a slightly acidic range allows the plant to make better use of fertilizer and grow more vigorously.
Better absorption
Nutrients become available to the roots.
Less chlorosis
Helps prevent yellowing of the leaves due to iron deficiency.
Better fertilizer utilization
Fertilizer is more effective when the pH is correct.
Unobstructed irrigation
Reduces the limescale that clogs drippers and pipes.
Directions for use
How to use the pH reducer
Irrigation water correction
Soils and irrigationDilute the product in the irrigation water or nutrient solution until the pH is correct for your crop. Because it is highly concentrated, a small amount is enough to treat large volumes of water.
Descaling irrigation systems
MaintenanceDissolved in water and circulated through the system, it helps remove the limescale that accumulates in drippers, filters, and pipes.
Step-by-step guide to adjusting the pH
- Measure the pH of the water with a meter or test strips before adding anything.
- Add the fertilizer first, if you are going to use it, and then the pH reducer.
- Add the product gradually, mix well, and measure again.
- Repeat if necessary until the correct value for your crop is reached.
Applications
Suitable crops
The same agricultural pH reducer can be used for many different applications, from potted plants on the patio to a drip irrigation system. You will find more ideas in our guides on agriculture and crop care.
Vegetable gardens and gardens
Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, fruit trees, or lawns. Most vegetables grow better with a pH between 6 and 7.
Acid-loving plants
Blueberries, hydrangeas, azaleas, camellias, or gardenias need a lower pH, between 4.5 and 5.5, to prevent yellowing.
Hydroponics and indoor growing
Adjust the nutrient solution to the usual range of 5.5 to 6.5 so that the roots can properly absorb nutrients.
Professional irrigation
Water correction for fertigation, drip irrigation, and treatment tanks on farms.
Irrigation maintenance
Helps dissolve the limescale that clogs drippers, filters, and pipes, extending the life of the system.

Advantages
Why choose a 100% natural pH reducer
Organic and biodegradable acids
Formulated with organic acids of natural origin that break down easily in the environment, a gentler alternative to pH reducers based on mineral acids.
Easier to handle
Less aggressive than strong mineral acids, making it more convenient for home use. However, it still requires the basic precautions for any acidic product.
Other sizes
If you irrigate large areas or use fertigation, it is also available in 10- and 20-liter bottles.
Safe use
Precautions for use
Protect eyes and hands
Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling the product undiluted. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Do not exceed the recommended dose
A pH that is too low can also harm plants. Add the product gradually and always measure before irrigating.
Safe storage
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool place, away from food and out of reach of children and animals.
