Watering plants with clean up water

[CoopsOz]

Is it ok to water your vege patch with the water that I have soaking the fermenters? I've got 40l sitting there that i would rather not pour down the drain if I can help it. FWIW, I don't use napisan or any other commercial product just 100% sodium perc.

Yep.all..good..sodium perc ( napi-san ) breaks down to hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate.

Thanks mate.

I would imagine that you'd be best not to water the one spot each time. Stu probably has a better understanding than me (I nearly failed chem) but hydrogen peroxide is slightly acidic while sodium carbonate is used in council pools to raise the pH. Overall the solution is alkaline, so best to dilute it down further with water, and spread the love over a bunch of different plants.

You can reuse the water/napi-san. I use a keg fill to clean, not sanitise, about 4 kegs worth. Then dump it on the lawn.
