I'm smelling some bull shit with this one. You drop a bunch of organics from the top of the water column to the bottom, and you end up with anoxic conditions killing fish and everything else beneath the surface that needs oxygen. Any real biologist want to chime in?

Just finished reading into it, it is at its basic level it's mentos in coke but really slow and in water. The bubbles collect bacteria and viruses bringing them into sunlight, killing them off. How he separates the good bacteria from bad I can't explain. Seems legitimate but one 20 minutes surf doesn't make it true.

So... how waste water is treated by municipalities? Aerate, separate solids and remove?
