Ghost Gully Produce hydroponics farm benefits from using Black Max ozone systems water-saving technology
Steven Carruthers the editor of the magazine stated in his article featuring Black Max Ozone Systems…
“Ghost Gully has shown that ozone disinfection is simple and efficient, with benefits including higher yields and quality and longer shelf-life, and no chemical residues”.
“Where ozone disinfection was once cost-prohibitive for many small and larger growers alike, the Black Max ozone systems
are affordable.”
Water quality tests proved that a single Black Max BM2 used in the ozone rinsing system at Ghost Gully Produce, achieved sanitation results exceeding the Australian Certification Standard for ‘Safe Quality Food’.. SQF 2000.
ORGANIC FARMERS TAKE NOTE..
Black Max ozone generators are the perfect water treatment solution for organic farmers. Water sanitation is safely achieved without the need to use any chemicals! And once the injected ozone has destroyed many types of harmful micro-organisms, it simply breaks down into oxygen and water.

Higher Yields
The Australian made Black Max Ozone Generators were first introduced to the hydroponic farming industry by Gary Davies, the proprietor of Black Max, back in 1998 at a time when many farmers were unaware of the benefits of using ozone to purify their water.
Ozone is one of the most effective bactericides known to science. The use of ozone in hydroponic farming has become well recognised for its effectiveness in controlling waterborne diseases caused by fungi, pathogenic bacteria, viruses and organochlorines.
These disease causing microbes can greatly reduce plant growth and yields, or even destroy a whole crop in a very short period of time.
A Black Max ozone system purifies water by directly injecting ozone into a water tank and/or nutrient solution reservoir.
In the water, excess ozone will break down into oxygen, and super oxygenate the tank water and nutrient solution. This promotes rapid healthy root development, plant growth and higher yields.
Ozone has been granted GRAS Status (Generally Regarded As Safe), by the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration).
In a typical Black Max ozone system, the injected ozone has been proven to work in conjunction with beneficial aerobic bacteria that thrive in an oxygen rich environment.
The effective ozone outputs, heavy duty design, and unrivaled build quality of the Black Max ozone systems, have well proven their worth over the last 25+ years. They are the most reliable, efficient and affordable low maintenance solutions for use in hydroponic farming.
Install a Black Max ozone system to sanitise the water in your holding tanks, nutrient mixing tanks, produce rinsing set ups, and for use in numerous other commercial and industrial applications requiring purified water.
There is no better way to achieve a cost effective, chemical free sanitation solution to protect your valuable investment.

Congratulations
Ghost Gully Produce
Prize winners over several years at the Gatton Annual Show QLD. Ghost Gully exclusively use Black Max ozone generators for growing and washing their lettuces, coriander, basil, chives and mint.
Farm owner Gary Samuelsen is happy to report no more waterborne disease breakouts since installing the Black Max ozone systems.
Thanks go to Joe Crane from Cyber Hydroponics in Queensland, for his expertise in setting up the Ghost Gully farm ozonation and automation systems.

The Black Max ozone system is the ideal water purification solution for both hydroponics and nursery applications. Ozone is one of the most powerful fast acting oxidizing agents known. Our ozone systems directly inject ozone into the water which dramatically increases oxygen content, resulting in faster growing, healthier plants. No chemicals are required and no harmful by-products are produced. Ozonated water can also be used for washing produce for increased sanitation, and to extend its shelf life.

What Makes Our Ozone Generators Different
The Black Max ozone generator incorporates a high quality Industrial ozone producing UV (ultra violet) lamp operating at a precise wavelength. The superior quality of the ozone lamp together with an electronic starter greatly increases the lamp life. The electronic starter instantly starts the lamp without any of the flickering associated with a basic bimetallic strip starter, which can greatly shorten the life of the lamp.
Constructed from marine grade aluminium, the compact heavy duty design has no moving parts to wear out. The units have an external window to quickly and safely verify lamp operation, plus four mounting flanges for fast easy fixing.
The advanced design utilises two separate internal chambers, one for the UV lamp and ozone production, the other for electronic control gear and wiring. This separation prevents ozone from damaging internal components, leading to a longer and more reliable lifespan.
We pride ourselves on the reliability and exceptionally long life span of our ozone generators. Black Max ozone generators are covered by a full 12 month warranty that includes the ozone lamp, even with timer operation (conditions apply). You can count on many years of productive use from our superior high output ozone generators.
