Do I clip clones, re root, and restart?

I have been having some issues with my grow to say the least. It all started with my clones that came infected with spider mites. I have been treating them, but it's my first time dealing with them and I'm not super confident about it.

Then, about 2 weeks in, a chunk of something got caught in my water chiller. The res temps went up to about 74 and I noticed some root rot starting. I quickly rinsed the roots, clipped the slimy brown part and changed out the res. A few days later, almost all the roots on one plant have the slime on them. The other plant looks better, but still not great.

My question is, do I try treating with hydroguard and hope it comes back? Or would I be better off sterilizing my entire setup, dipping the entire plant in some pest management solution, clipping at the base, and re rooting? Can I even do that? Or do I need to take the branches only as clones.

Here are pics of both plant and their roots, they have been rooted for about 2-3 weeks and I think they have stalled.

Been a long time since I ran hydro but hydroguard never seemed to clear up a bad issue for me, trim your dead roots and get some pool shock like other people are saying. The clear rez topic someone posted in here is exactly what I used to use when I was running hydro.
