A naturally occuring gas, ozone is created when the oxygen in a growroom is bombarded with ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It can also be created through an ozone production system which utilizes a high-voltage corona discharge. Ozone is an intense, thorough, and environmentally friendly way to destroy bacteria, fungi, and other waterborne diseases. It’s the strongest available water disinfectant on the market.
