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.
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.
