Hello errbody, how are we all?

I'm wondering if there are any alternative products to slf 100, it's not that common in my area although I can import it from the US but :eyesmoke:I'm just checking my options

I'll be using it in a sterile rdwc system

cheers

SLF100 is supposed to have living bacteria in it IIRC so that may not be a good choice for a sterile system. It may provide some benefits but you may not be getting all the potential it offers if killing things off. If you're after an enzyme product then I'd look at other offerings.

fwiw, I'm using SLF-100 in soil along with other goodies from Nectar of the Gods as they are often paired up together. When I need a heavy dose of an enzyme (knowing it will impact the beneficial bacteria/etc.) I resort to good ole' Hygrozyme or a similar product.

Arriving late to the party,
I see that SLF-100 is being advertised everywhere (including the 'unofficial guide' ) as H2O2-compatible.
Kind of a strange advertisement for a microbe-based enzymatic product, isn't it?

BTW @NewGrower2011, the unofficial guide explicitly states that SLF-100 and H2O2 are intended to operate in parallel.
Quoting the manufacturer, Newton Hayes:
"...SLF-100 is also compatible with H202 (Hydrogen Peroxide)"
"... Bacillus subtillus - catalase-positive bacteria - meaning given the ability to grow overnight in a simple sugar medium and added to H2O2 it will break the extra oxygen atom off the end - the real enzyme test."
