OK --- Any thoughts or opinions about the GROzone Oxygen Based ‘green’ Technology?Actually, it's not oxygen... It's oxidation.

From your link...
Fair use excerpt:
It is also allows for constant and regulated PPM’s of ozone to filter and purify the reservoir and liquid solutions used in growing mediums to prevent algae, bacterial culture and mold growth
Actually, I am pretty sure that it is simply a supplement to Ozone treatment... Like you could do with chlorine.
Yes... but they work well together.Chlorine is actually very different than O3... check it out.
Chlorine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine
O3 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone
Yes, which is what I was trying to point out... That is, that the extra oxygen atom in Ozone allows the extra oxygen atom to oxidize with any material and destroy it on contact.Yes, you're right on the money. Ozone is 3 atoms of oxygen (O3) . This form of oxygen, O3, is a killer. It effectively kills mold, Pythium. pathogen microbes, good microbes... everything. City water works dissolve it in public water supplies to kill microbes and disinfect the water supply instead of using Chlorine and Chloramine. Root rot fungi will find no opportunity to thrive and infect a RDWC containing oxygen with 3 atoms (O3).
If you are using O3, dealing with chlorine is probably a waste of time and money. Of course your plants still need plenty of O2, not O3.Very little, if any, chlorine needs to be supplemented.

Yes, that's correct, that's what it says.From your link...

Yes. .. but it may have been confusing to some people who were confusing dissolved oxygen content, with oxidation.Yes, that's correct, that's what it says.
Yes, it is really confusing... oxygen (O2) - air - oxygenation - aeration - chilled water - dissolved air - dissolved nitrogen - dissolved oxygen - dissolved oxygen concentration - dissolved oxygen saturation dissolved oxygen supersaturation - ozone (O3)- dissolved ozone. And, the point of this exercise it to prevent low oxygenation. If you can prevent low oxygenation then RDWC fungal outbreaks become preventable. Hence the point of insuring minimal safe dissolved oxygen saturation - 100% DO saturation or greater continuously or kill all the microbes with ozone (O3). Prevention must be cost effective, simple, minimal minimal maintenance and above all - prevention must be fail-safe and work 24/7 from the sprout through harvest, like a life support system that prevents fungal outbreaks.Yes. .. but it may have been confusing to some people who were confusing dissolved oxygen content, with oxidation.
Here's a great place to begin your adventure, having fun with gas chemistry. Henry's Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry's_lawI like your post, but not convinced that 100% dissolved oxygen content is achievable... or if it is, I'm thinking it must be under strict parameters.
I will attempt to learn more about dissolved oxygen in the near future... Then I will know the how and why.
Great. Have a good, safe Easter egg hunt tomorrow.Looking forward to it
You too.Great. Have a good, safe Easter egg hunt tomorrow.
