Questions Frequently Asked about PERpose

FAQ’S

Q: What Is PERpose™?

A:  PERpose™ is a clear odorless substance very similar in appearance to water (H2O). Like water PERpose™ is made up of Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2), however it’s the extra oxygen atom that gives PERpose™ its useful properties. PERpose™ is of great use for both hydroponics, soil, and soil less gardening, including turf, agriculture and horticulture. Also used as a water cleaner to remove scale in fogging applications and irrigation systems.

Q: Is PERpose™ EPA Registered?

A: No, PERpose™ is OSHA labeled as an oxygenator of plants and soils with the side benefit of reducing/eliminating mineral build up, (scale) in lines, filters, tanks mist/fog heads and cool pads.
It is against the law to use PERpose™ off label.

Q: How Does PERose™ work?

A: When PERpose™ contacts the soil  a chemical reaction causes vast amounts of oxygen to be released.  This oxygen helps to loosen compacted soil. With more oxygen present in the root zone nutrient uptake increases, resulting in maintaining healty root systems and increased vigor.  Because plants have more available oxygen they will be more resistant to drought. 

Q: How does PERpose™ Plant and Soil Oxygen Enhancer, compare with other Hydrogen dioxide based products?

A:
PERpose™ contains the same main active ingredient as other peroxygen based products available in the market place. That ingredient is Hydrogen Dioxide, also known as Hydrogen Peroxide. Our proprietary buffers and stabilizers allow PERpose™ to be applied safely as a soil drench through fertigation systems, as a foliar spray over plant material and turf (including mist and fogging applications), without phytotoxicity.

Q: Is PERpose™ corrosive?

A: The PERpose™ concentrate is corrosive. However, once diluted it is generally not corrosive.

Q:  Is PERpose™ the same as "off the shelf" Hydrogen Peroxide? 
                            
A:  Many may compare PERpose™ with over the counter hydrogen peroxide.  PERpose™ has a proprietary blend of stabilizers and buffering agents that allow the diluted solution to be applied into the root zone and over plant material without phytotoxicity.

Q:  Can PERpose™ be used in Fertigation/Chemigation systems?

A:  PERpose™ can be applied with Fertigation/Chemigation systems and can be used throughout all stages of production to maintain and protect healthy plant roots.

Q:  Is PERpose™ compatible with other greenhouse chemicals?

A:  Never mix the PERpose™ concentration with another chemical concentrate. It will generally not be compatible with products that have the following active ingredients: copper, magnesium/zinc, magnesium/copper and aluminum. Mix finished solutions together to check for volatility or apply PERpose™ before the intended chemical.

Q:  Can I mix PERpose™  with my fertilizers?

A:  Never mix the PERpose™ concentrate with a fertilizer concentrate.  Fertilizer compatibility is best when PERpose™ is added through a dedicated chemical proportioner when used in direct feed applications.

Q:  What is the shelf life of PERpose™?

A:  PERpose
will remain efficacious as long as there is nothing for it to react with. It is important to keep the container closed and stock tank solutions covered. Freezing will not have an effect on PERpose™, however PERpose™ will start to break down at temperatures at or above 86 degrees. Store PERpose™ in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

Q: How safe is PERpose™?

A: Used at suggested dilution rates, PERpose™ is environmentally safe and will not harm the environment, plant and animals, or people and is (OSHA) labeled.

Q: Does PERpose™ clean water?

A: One of the side benefits of using PERpose™ in your operation, is that it reduces/eliminates scale build up in water lines, holding tanks, fog/mist heads, cool pads and filters through the process of oxidation.
