Testimonials: Black Max ozone systems used in hydroponic farming –
1/ Steven Carruthers the editor of ‘Practical Hydroponics & Greenhouses magazine’, made the following comments about Black Max Ozone Generators, in the Practical Hydroponics & Greenhouses magazine article titled ‘Ghost Gully Produce: Intelligent Farm Management’: Issue 108 September 2009..
“Where ozone disinfection was once cost-prohibitive for many small and larger growers alike, the Black Max ozone systems are affordable.
Ghost Gully has shown that ozone disinfection is simple and efficient, with benefits including higher yields and quality, longer shelf-life, and no chemical residues”.
“Ozone is also used in the washing water to remove bacteria, fungi and moulds, and to extend the shelf-life of produce. Trials at Ghost Gully Produce point to a 3-week shelf life once the lettuce leaves the cold-room”.
2/ Joe Crane proprietor of Cyber-Hydroponics, a well regarded hydroponic farm automation and ozone system specialist, stated the following about his experience with Black Max ozone systems, in the PH&G article titled ‘Ghost gully Produce: Intelligent Farm Management’: September 2009..
“Ozone is extremely effective at controlling water borne diseases such as Pythium. Pathogens are always there, but ozone keeps them under control. Pathogens are hardy and likely to harbour in irrigation lines. Most are eliminated when the return water reaches the system reservoir, which is ozonated 24/7”.
“I recommend that all my consulting farms use the ozone sterilisation method. As well as being effective, the Black Max units are robust and have an excellent lifespan. There is no doubt about the effectiveness of Black Max ozone systems in pathogen control”.
3/ Gary Samuelsen the owner of the award winning Ghost Gully Produce hydroponic farm, made the following comments about his experience with multiple Black Max ozone systems in use for many years at his award winning Ghost Gully Produce farm: September 2009..
“We are convinced about the effectiveness of ozone, and there is no doubt in our minds about the effectiveness of the Black Max ozone systems in pathogen control”.
“I am happy to report no more waterborne disease breakouts since installing the Black Max ozone systems”.
