Q: What is Xscalent?
A: Xscalent is a mixture of chelating agents designed to dissolve scale build-up in drip irrigation systems, ensuring optimal flow and efficiency.
Q: How does Xscalent work?
A: Unlike mineral acids that react with scales, Xscalent makes them soluble in water. It takes around 72 hours to clear the build-up effectively.
Q: What happens to the scales after using Xscalent?
A: The dissolved scales are flushed out through dripper nozzles. These minerals become available to crops as chelated calcium and magnesium, improving nutrition.
Q: Is Xscalent compatible with all agri inputs?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible with all agricultural inputs.
Q: What is the shelf life of Xscalent?
A: As per the label, the shelf life is 2 years. However, if stored sealed, it remains effective much longer.
Q: Any special storage requirements?
A: Yes, Xscalent should be stored under shade to maintain effectiveness.
Q: How to use Xscalent?
A: Dissolve 1 kg in 100 liters of water and add the mixture into the drip system via a venturi or mixture tank. Close the pump for 72 hours, then restart to ensure smooth flow.
Q: What happens to drip pipes after treatment?
A: Drip pipes get thoroughly cleaned. Regular use prevents scale build-up and prolongs system life.
Q: Any precautions to take while using Xscalent?
A: Xscalent is extremely safe for crops, humans, soil, and drip systems. Only precaution—protect your eyes from direct contact during application.
Q: Can the treated water be used for irrigation?
A: Yes. The same water can irrigate crops. It softens soil and boosts growth by supplying chelated calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg).
