Athena Reset

EPA-registered PAA disinfectant built for between-run facility hygiene at commercial scale.

Athena Reset is an EPA-registered peroxyacetic acid (PAA) antimicrobial formulation that sanitizes and disinfects hard, non-porous surfaces, irrigation lines, reservoirs, and equipment — purpose-built for licensed cannabis and hemp production facilities. Part of the Athena Clean Line, it delivers broad-spectrum microbial control against bacteria, biofilm, slime, odor, and algae between crop cycles.

What It Is

Athena Reset is a concentrated EPA-registered peroxyacetic acid (PAA) antimicrobial formulation designed for industrial sanitization and disinfection in commercial cultivation and production environments. PAA is a broad-spectrum oxidizing biocide that works against a wide range of microorganisms on hard, non-porous surfaces and in water systems — including bacteria, mold, algae, slime, and odor-producing organisms.

Reset is part of the Athena Clean Line, a suite of products engineered specifically for between-run hygiene in licensed cannabis and hemp facilities. It is food-grade qualified, meaning it meets the sanitation standards used in food-contact surface applications — a relevant benchmark for regulated operators who must document and defend their hygiene protocols. After use, PAA breaks down into carbon dioxide and water, leaving no persistent chemical residue in your facility.

Who It's For

Any licensed cannabis or hemp cultivation operation running SOPs that require documented, repeatable sanitation between runs. Whether you are managing a single flowering room or a multi-room commercial facility, Reset belongs at the end of every cycle — flushed through irrigation infrastructure after Athena Renew has pulled the physical scale and biofilm, then applied to hard surfaces, grow equipment, wet walls, and reservoirs before the next crop goes in.

Reset is also the correct terminal step after cleaning ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, greenhouse wet walls, and any other surface where residual microbial load could carry contamination into the next run. Operations under state compliance monitoring — where microbial testing of flower is mandatory — benefit directly from a documented, EPA-registered sanitation product that can be referenced in audit records.

Key Features

Broad-spectrum PAA chemistry: Controls bacteria, slime, odor, and algae simultaneously — a single product covering the primary biological risks between runs, rather than stacking multiple chemistries.

Multiple application formats: Reset can be applied via foamer or fogger for whole-room microbial control, or flushed through irrigation lines at 1 fl. oz. per gallon for sterile line maintenance. When paired with Athena Perafoam (sold separately), the combination produces a long-clinging foam suitable for vertical surfaces and equipment that need extended contact time. The Athena Reset Foamer system is calibrated to meter both products at ideal ratios automatically — or they can be mixed manually for use with standard foaming equipment.

Irrigation line terminal step: After Athena Renew has removed scale and inanimate particulates, flush the system with Reset at 1 fl. oz. per gallon to sterilize lines and emitters before recommissioning. This two-step protocol — mechanical cleaning followed by PAA sterilization — keeps drippers clear and eliminates residual biological load that would otherwise seed the next cycle.

How It Fits a Commercial Build

Reset operates as the disinfection terminal in Athena's Clean Line protocol: Renew strips scale and organic debris, Reset kills what's left. This sequenced approach mirrors SOP structures required by state cannabis compliance programs, where facilities must demonstrate that sanitation steps are distinct, verifiable, and chemically appropriate for their intended targets.

The 5-gallon format (SKU: CL-RES-5G) is the standard commercial quantity for multi-room operations. Athena also supplies Reset in 1-gallon and 55-gallon drum formats for smaller operators or high-volume facilities running frequent reset cycles. Note: Reset is a hazardous chemical — appropriate PPE is required during handling and application per label instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Athena Reset and Athena Renew?

Renew is a mechanical line cleaner — it uses etidronic acid (HEDP) and food-grade hydrogen peroxide to chelate minerals, break up scale, and flush inanimate organic particulates out of irrigation lines. Reset is the disinfection step that follows. Once Renew has physically cleared the line, Reset is flushed through at 1 fl. oz. per gallon to sterilize the system and kill residual biological load before the next run begins. They are designed to be used in sequence, not interchangeably.

Can Reset be used directly in active irrigation water feeding plants?

No. Reset is a terminal sanitation product used between crop cycles, not a maintenance additive dosed into active fertigation. It is applied after harvest — to empty lines, reservoirs, and hard surfaces — and the system is flushed with clean water before plants or nutrients are reintroduced.

What surfaces can Reset be applied to?

Reset is rated for hard, non-porous contact surfaces throughout cultivation and production facilities. Specific applications documented by Athena include grow room floors and walls, irrigation lines and emitters, reservoirs, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, greenhouse wet walls, and general equipment surfaces. It is not indicated for porous materials.

Do I need the Athena Reset Foamer system to use this product?

No — Reset can be applied through any standard foamer or fogger, and can be manually mixed with Athena Perafoam at 1 fl. oz. of each per gallon for use with conventional foam-generating equipment. The Athena Reset Foamer is a dedicated system calibrated to meter both products at ideal ratios automatically, which is the recommended setup for high-frequency or large-footprint facility resets, but it is not required.

Is the 5-gallon format the right size for my facility?

The 5-gallon (CL-RES-5G) is the standard commercial quantity for multi-room operations running regular between-run reset cycles. Athena also supplies Reset in 1-gallon containers for smaller facilities or trial use, and 55-gallon drums for high-volume operations that are resetting multiple large rooms frequently.
