Cleaning Hydroton Question
    #8202706 - 03/27/08 06:27 PM (16 years, 4 days ago)

Ok so I set up my PMP and got everything flowing, thouroughly washed my hydroton in scalding hot water until the water ran clean, and then threw it in the PMP.

I'm beginning to have second thoughts about not pressure cooking or bleaching the hydroton (even though bleach around shrooms scares me).

My question is how many of you use hydroton just after a thorough rinse? Will the shroomies absorb some nasties in the hydroton?
My guess is b/c it's inorganic it can't hold contoms?
Thanks for all replies!

you'll be perfectly fine. i use 2 pmp's and you clean your hydroton more throughly then mine. and i never have any issues with contams. i just rinse mine in a light soapy water.

its a good idea to rinse it every two weeks though.
