Hello. Over the past several months, I have been in working with a Microbubble Device company locally in San Diego reviewing products, and testing some of their products. I made a series of videos of some of their new products, I wanted to post here for everyone who is interested to see.

So, these devices look very promising at creating microbubbles and injecting oxygen into the water. There may also be some Japanese studies showing microbubbles can attach to plant roots with good results.
I am hoping to do a hands on test in a RDWC type device sometime to find which units are best for hydroponics and their effectiveness.
It is suggested that it was safe to enrich root zone DO to as high as 30 mg L-1, although the growth benefit was minor by increasing DO from ambient air saturated level (∼8.5 mg L-1) to 30 mg L-1. Higher than 30 mg L-1 could cause reduction in tomato plant growth.
Post here if you are interested or have any questions or input on the matter. Its still very young in our view, the application of microbubbles to hydroponics, RDWC may have large potential.
