Black Max Ozone Generators
The Australian-made Black Max Ozone Generators were first introduced to the hydroponics farming industry by Gary Davies in 1998, at a time when many farmers were unaware of the benefits of using ozone to purify their water.
Since then hydroponic farmers and hobbyists, plant nurseries, orchid growers, organic produce growers, vertical gardens manufacturers, car wash manufactures, pet boarding kennels, fish farms, Koi pond hobbyists, bakeries, drinking water suppliers, odour control consultants, float tank treatment therapists, swimming pool and spas owners, plus numerous other customers have all reported the great results they have achieved using our Black Max ozone systems.
Ozone is one of the most effective bactericides known to science. The use of ozone in hydroponics farming has now become very well recognised for its effectiveness in helping to control waterborne diseases, viruses, fungi, pathogenic bacteria, E.coli etc. that can rapidly grow and contaminate a water tank or nutrient mixing tank, a drinking water supply, or an industrial process that requires purified water.
Both Black Max BM1 and BM2 ozone generators exclusively use very high quality UV (Ultra Violet) lamps, operating at a precise frequency, to produce extremely pure ozone. This is completely different from the more common CD (Corona Discharge) ozone generators that produce ozone using electrical arcing between two metal grids. With a CD ozone generator, the ozone can become contaminated with Nitric Acid, especially in a high humidity environment, but this is not a problem with our Black Max UV lamp ozone systems.
In hydroponics farming disease causing microbes can greatly reduce plant growth and yields, or even destroy a whole crop. A Black Max ozone system purifies water by directly injecting ozone into the water storage tank, and/or the nutrient solution tank. In a plant nursery the ozonated water, or the ozonated water/nutrient solution, greatly helps to keep plants healthy, whether watering overhead or at the base of the plants.
Black Max direct ozone systems are used for many industrial applications.. For example to treat the water that is recirculated in a vehicle washing bay. The water used to wash cars gets very dirty, but is then returned to a holding tank for reuse on the next car. This very dirty water must be sanitised to control the bacterial load, and the unpleasant odours that would develop without the Black Max ozone system installed.
In a water tank the injected ozone purifies the water, and any excess ozone will simply breaks down into oxygen. On a hydroponic farm the additional oxygen that super oxygenates the water reservoirs, or nutrient solutions tanks, promotes rapid healthy root development, plant growth and higher yields.
The injected ozone is not harmful to beneficial aerobic bacteria that thrive in an oxygen rich environment, and a Black Max ozone system is ideally suited to organic farming as no chemical residues are created or left behind when the system is turned off.
Black Max ozone generators are constructed from marine grade aluminium that is then powder coated. The heavy duty design, unrivaled build quality, and proven results achieved over the past 25+ years, make the Black Max ozone systems the most reliable, efficient, low maintenance and affordable solutions for use in hydroponics farming, and numerous other commercial and industrial applications.
