We have sold/supplied and service MicroGrow products since 1991. Our first project that involved Micro Grow controllers was in this year. This project involved the installation of three Microgrow Growmaster GrowCom units. These units preform flawlessly until 2002, in which the grower decided to upgrade to two Microgrow Growmaster Procom Units. We should mention that when the orginal three GrowCom units were taken out, they were relocated to other grower facilities and still are preforming flawlessly. Now that says a lot for the product.

We have many other similar long term installations ..... Microgrow controllers .... they just keep working and working and working.... Easy to install..... Easy for the grower to operate and program. ....Very powerfull control building blocks .... A very wise investment choice .... What more can we say.
