The INDALO Nanobubble generator is a highly efficient gas-to-liquid injection technology that converts large volumes of oxygen into nanobubbles and over-saturates the water with high levels of dissolved oxygen (DO). The negatively charged, neutrally buoyant bubbles remain suspended in the water for long periods of time, acting as an extra oxygen battery that provides oxygen to the entire body of water. As oxygen is consumed, the nanobubbles continue to diffuse more oxygen into the solution to maintain optimal DO levels.

The nanobubbles produce a natural oxidant that is able to reduce the growth of biofilm* bacteria, and suppress harmful pathogens, even in warm water. Moleaer's INDALO model is an economical and highly effective tool that improves water quality, suppresses root diseases and promotes the growth of healthy, resilient plants.
