The Garbage Doctor Vs. Other Products
What makes the Garbage Doctor Unique?
Traditional odour control systems typically work by spraying an odour-neutralising fragrance into the garbage chute. The major disadvantage of 'odour neutralising' fragrances, is that they usually do not provide any control against the spread of airborne disease, and therefore do little to help Management and the Body Corporate with their duty of care.
Additionally, the three odour control technologies used in the Garbage Doctor provide far superior performance in the control of odours than any other product we have seen, please visit the Testimonials Section of this web site to hear the results other Resorts and Apartment complexes have achieved from upgrading their previous products to the Garbage Doctor.

The Garbage Doctor Vs. Generic Ozone Generators
Generic Ozone Generators often create ozone using a technology called 'Corona Discharge'. Corona Discharge is often the technology of choice for applications such as treating spa pools and swimming pools, however it has some major disadvantages for garbage chute applications:
This is because in addition to Ozone, Corona Discharge technology typically creates a by-product called 'Nitrogen Oxide'. When these Nitrogen Oxides are exposed to humidity (H20), they can quickly form into Nitric Acid which is corrosive in steel garbage systems (in some cases this may take a year or more to become visibly evident).
The Garbage Doctor uses our break-through Si-Zone, High Performance Ozone Technology which generates clean Ozone without the unwanted Nitrogen Oxide by-products. The Garbage Doctor also contains many unique design features for simple and reliable 24/7 operation in garbage environments. This has been a result of years of experience as Queensland's largest supplier of Ozone products for commercial garbage systems.
