I filled one mason jar with ozone water. I filled one with regular water. I soaked in aphid infestation vegetation to drowned adult aphids. And letting the eggs soak. I put cheese cloth over the jars. I opened up the ozonator jar. Many aphids unfortunately. As many as the regular water. There’s two things I wanted the ozonator for. One to sanitize the vegetables that I trade and sell. So actually killing soil microbes is something I need to do in this situation. The other thing was the eggs. Again I am not a scientist, I’m seeing living microbes and living aphids. So I am ending my experiment as of now. Hoping she will get back to me about a warranty. I really hope whatever replacement model shows me a little more. But as of this time I have to say it’s not doing what it says. And that’s my final opinion. As a Lehman or a lame ass man I feel I have tested it as best to my ability. One thing I do know is that it doesn’t hurt the plants. Dr. zymes was lethal on the bugs. But also damaged my leaves. I have not had a bug problem other than a little bit of spider mite on one plant at the end of flower two rounds ago. Is that from washing the plants? Probably a lot. So in the end for whatever reason whether it’s simply be washing or ozone it’s still did help. And nobody got sick that I know of this year so far or last year with my vegetables. Not that they ever did before though… I just worried a lot more about it when I didn’t have something that was supposed to sanitize. Out Beconator.
Aphids don’t seem to mind ozone

Very interesting report, and the little bastards don’t even drown. What is the efficacy of Ozone water, how long does the ozone water stay active after making it? Happy Growing 🙂
They drowned. The adults. That’s what I did first. Then I took just the eggs and put them in a jar to see if they would hatch after being soaked in ozone. I can live with it not killing adults. But I did buy it for the eggs and Microbes. Seems like this is the way things go. When I was little I thought that you could never say your product did something it didn’t it lol I thought there was some law.
Can you try to kill down the ants that are carrying those little fuckers in to your crops!
Are you having aphid problems? I just use soapy water. Use actual dish soap a little bit in a sprayer bottle. Spray it all up good and they die in their place. Never seen it affect a plant unless it’s in the direct sun.
No thank you though. I do the same thing. I was using aphids for experiment. They are easy to see
My team is already working on them . Lol by team I mean the lady bugs.I let the bugs take care of the other bugs outside
