IMPROVE WATER QUALITY
T
he OxyBull aeration system ensures that the oxygen concentration in both the water and around the roots of plants is at optimum level (100%). The OxyBull also moves the water around in a water storage tank or pond. Because water is moving it’s impossible to have algae growth. High levels of oxygen in the water are crucial for water quality and growth of healthy plants. To ensure optimum levels of oxygen input, the OxyBull system is a must have to create the perfect water conditions. When the OxyBull system is used in combination with our oxygen meter, the oxygen level will be stored every 5 minutes and will be displayed on the computer. This aeration system is maintenance free and has a guarantee of 7 years and a lifetime of at least 15 years. Plant vitality It’s important to grow more productive plants. The increased availability of oxygen atoms also improves the absorption of nutrients. If roots have a lack of oxygen,

they have no choice but to replace it with other compounds. They then start with the production of ethylene. However, this causes cell damage and increases the risk of pathogenic diseases. The temperature is the most important variable that influences how much molecular oxygen the water can hold. The higher the water temperature, the lower the amount of dissolved oxygen that can be retained by the water. This is the reason why aerobic bacteria multiply effectively. How important is oxygen in water Dissolved oxygen is the first defense against anaerobe bacteria that causes
pathogenic fungus in soil. It also stimulates a faster root growth and a greater density of the fine root hairs, which are in fact responsible for the absorption of water. This intake requires a lot of energy from the plant in the form of oxygen. Plug-and-play The OxyBull aeration system can easily be connected to the pond or the water storage tank. It is therefore a plug-and-play system and only consumes power and requires no maintenance. Over the years, more than 10,000 OxyBull aeration systems have been installed worldwide.
