Washing or buffering?
A low EC result and a buffering treatment answer different questions. Confirm both on the product specification before deciding how to prepare your cocopeat.

Why the root zone matters
Compressed coir may change shape or packaging condition when wet, and water exposure can compromise handling or cleanliness.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Identify leaks, floor contact or condensation around affected stock.
- Record which units are swollen, stained or have damaged wrapping.
- Compare affected units with protected material from the same batch.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What is the exposure pattern?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Local leak
Isolate the affected area and correct the leak before assessing individual packages.
Widespread condensation
Review storage conditions and package ventilation with the warehouse team.
Unknown wetting history
Request an assessment before issuing the material to sensitive production.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Document the incident and agree a release or rejection decision for the affected stock.
Keep in mind
Do not dry material and relabel it as unaffected without an appropriate assessment.
