What is Aquaox ©
• Aquaox © is a solution with a different safe
chlorine compound (HOCL), that is produced
by a device using a simple solution of salt
and water.
• In applying these tests, the flowers were
treated in a closed space with a very fine mist
of this solution using a simple fogging device.
