Ghost Gully Produce benefits from using Black Max ozone systems to control waterborne diseases on their farm..
Steven Carruthers, the editor of this highly regarded hydroponics 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 have proven that a single Black Max BM2W ozone generator used in the ozone rinsing system at Ghost Gully Produce farm, achieved sanitation results exceeding SQF 2000.. the Australian Certification Standard for ‘Safe Quality Food’.
ORGANIC FARMERS TAKE NOTE..
Black Max ozone systems are the perfect water treatment solution for organic farmers! Water sanitation is safely achieved without the need to buy and use expensive chemicals!
After the injected ozone has destroyed harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi.. it simply breaks down into oxygen and water! This abundant oxygen in the water helps to keep plants healthy.. increasing plant growth and producing higher yields!

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.
Black Max ozone systems purify 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 Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
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 powerful ozone output, 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 solution for use in hydroponic farming.
Install a Black Max ozone system to sanitise the water in your holding tank, nutrient mixing tank, produce rinsing set up, or any other application requiring purified water.

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
Black Max ozone generators incorporates a high quality/high output 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 life of the lamp. The electronic starter instantly starts the lamp without any of the flickering associated with a basic bimetallic strip starter, which would shorten the lamp life.
The ozone produced by a Black Max ozone generator is exceptionally pure! It has none of the potential contamination that can occur when ozone is produced by a Corona Discharge (CD) ozone generator. With a CD unit, the ozone is produced by electrical arcing between two metal grids, and there is always the potential for contamination with nitric acid, which can often occur as a by-product of that type of ozone production. This is even more likely in a high humidity environment.
Black Max ozone generators are constructed from powder coated marine grade aluminium, and 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. There are four mounting flanges for fast easy fixing to a wall or post.
The advanced design utilises two separate internal chambers.. one for the UV lamp and ozone production, and the other for the 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 Australian-made ozone generators.
