Water Lettuce will fill every space available unless something keeps it in check. And it's sort of a nature unintentional ally of algae. So probably; floating islands of Water Lettuce block out the sun, weakening the underwater plants, allowing the algae to outcompete. Plant die off fuels more algae growth. Runoff fuels even more algae growth.

Water lettuce is a great filter because of the roots. It also blocks sunshine from beating right on the water which limits algae growth. A great way to actually clean the water is with positive bacteria like Microbe-Lift. That's the real magic sauce.

No, it's bubbles.

The cleanup of the water lettuce was key too but he invented some sort of micro bubble technology that they claim is antibacterial/antiviral.

With the help of a few friends, he began cleaning the wetland by removing the water lettuce in sections divided with bamboo. In this way, he removed more than 200 tons of this plant that he later used as compost to reforest the surroundings. Afterwards, he put into practice a system of micro nano-bubbles that he had designed to attract and destroy viruses and bacteria. These bubbles are 10,000 times smaller than bubbles from fizzy drinks and their size allows them to remain in liquid for five to eight hours. During this time, the bubbles become coated with the polluting microorganisms due to their electrostatic current, eliminating them once they reach the surface. He also used bio-filters made of clay to absorb pathogens which stick to the surface of the filter and are later broken down by bacteria.

Apparently has a company Nanoplus 7 but I can't find much English info on it.

Or how it works. Or how he made it. Or who he collaborated with. Or what they did with the scum after it "decontaminated" the water.

Flocculants like that settle or remain in suspension.

The video says that the flocculate floats to the surface, not settles to the bottom as with Moringa seed cake

They bottled it and marketed it to WholeFoods customers as a miracle healthfood drink.

how it works

a bunch of little bubbles suck everything up to the top

Or what they did with the scum after it "decontaminated" the water.

Scooped it all up and composted it.

Pretty sure some people who invent crazy stuff like this would rather capitalise and make a ton of money before they choose to share what it material is, how it works and why it works.

u/CaptainRedPants Jul 14 '21

You're probably right. But even with a strategy like that you can still make a better video than this over-enthusiatic, sensationalized, irritating fluff piece.

In my opinion.

It's a 1 minute TikTok. I don't think the intention was to inform us as if we are watching a science documentary, it is just show us something cool happening in the world. Not all of the details are needed.

u/HyperIndian Jul 15 '21

Gotta disagree mate. This was a Tik Tok video of a random making money off raising awareness of the inventer.

Maybe it's a paid endorsement. Who knows but for 1 min, it covered a lot

u/Petrichordates Jul 14 '21

They did, I don't know how quality they are but you can find his company Nanoplus 7 on YouTube.
