Water quality is the foundation of successful shrimp farming, yet for years, chlorine (kaporit) has been treated as "the only way" to sterilize pond water. Behind its convenience, however, lies a set of risks that are rarely discussed openly.

At FARM 2026, organized by Minapoli on September 29, 2026 at Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue, FisTx will present an answer to this problem: FDS (FisTx Disinfectant System) — a pond water sterilization system that uses no harmful chemicals.

Why Is Pond Water Sterilization Still a Problem?

Unsterilized water is the root cause of many farming issues — from shrimp becoming easily stressed, to disease outbreaks such as Vibrio and EHP, to FCR spiking due to unstable environmental conditions. Chlorine has long been used because it's cheap and fast. But that convenience comes at a cost.

The Risks of Chlorine Use That Farmers Often Overlook

Some of the lesser-known risks of chlorine include:

• Chemical residues that can affect long-term water quality

• Ongoing dependency — doses are needed again every cycle

• Health risks to shrimp if dosage or application timing is off

• Environmental impact from residues discharged into waterways

These are exactly the problems that pushed FisTx to develop a safer alternative.

FDS: FisTx's Chemical-Free Water Sterilization Solution

FDS combines three complementary technologies:

1. Baskara UV — sterilization using ultraviolet light

2. Cakra Elektrolisis — water sterilization through electrolysis, with no chlorine involved

3. Nano Disinfektan — additional protection at the nano level

Each is designed to work at a different point in the farming cycle, giving farmers a safer and more sustainable way to sterilize their pond water.

How Cakra Elektrolisis Sterilizes Pond Water

Cakra Elektrolisis replaces the conventional chemical process with electrolysis — using electrical current to produce a disinfecting effect in the water, without adding harsh chemicals like chlorine. It's designed for direct application in the pond, with results that can be observed in real time — and this is exactly what the FisTx team will demonstrate live at the FARM 2026 booth.

Real-World Proof: FDS Implemented at FisTx's KSO Pond in Purworejo

FDS isn't just a concept on paper. All three technologies are now being applied simultaneously at the FisTx KSO Pond in the Purworejo area, managed by FisTx's Farming Expert division.

"Unsterilized water is the root of many problems in ponds. We've already proven FDS works across different regions, and now all three technologies are running together at the FisTx KSO Pond in Purworejo."
— Bachtiar Umar, Head of Farming Expert, FisTx

FisTx at FARM 2026 :

• 📅 Date: September 29, 2026

• 📍 Location: Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue

• 🔬 What you'll see: A full display of FDS (Baskara UV, Cakra Elektrolisis, Nano Disinfektan) plus a live demo of the Cakra Elektrolisis mechanism

Visitors will be able to talk directly with the FisTx team — from the technical side of the product to real-world field application — to understand how FDS can help optimize farming performance.

Chlorine-free pond water sterilization is no longer just a concept — FisTx is proving it through FDS, already applied in the field and set to be demonstrated live at FARM 2026. If you're a farmer looking to learn more about safer water sterilization alternatives, this is your chance to see it firsthand and ask questions directly.

See you at the FisTx booth — FARM 2026, September 29, 2026, Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue.
