If you’re exploring the adoption of ultrafine bubbles (UFBs)—also known as nanobubbles—you’ve likely read the research papers, scientific articles, watched countless videos, and studied pilot projects and theoretical outcomes. But still, wouldn't it be helpful to see a small demo before making a full commitment?

That’s where NanoWash comes in—a compact, affordable UFB generator designed for standard household water systems. Unlike expensive industrial models, NanoWash is optimized for domestic conditions—regular tap water pressure, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and suspended solids (SS). It means that it doesn’t require a gas inlet, stainless steel housing, chemical protection, or support large pressure and temperature variations, which resulted in a drastic cost reduction.

Yet, NanoWash can generate high concentrations of nanobubbles in the 100–200nm range—ideal to validate the effects of the UFB in a practical approach.

Here are five easy and low-cost ways to observe and test the benefits of UFBs using NanoWash:

1. 🌱 Gardening: Boost plant health and growth

UFBs improve water penetration and oxygen delivery in soil, helping plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.

How to test:

  • Prepare two similar pots of plants.

  • Water one with UFB-treated water, the other with regular tap water.

  • Observe growth, leaf color, and soil moisture over 1–2 weeks.

2. 🍽️ Dish Washing: Residue removal and degreasing

UFBs reduce surface tension and help loosen grime—even without detergent.

How to test:

  • Prepare two plates and cover both with oil or a sticky substance.

  • Rinse one plate under regular tap water for 5 minutes.

  • Rinse the other using water treated with NanoWash.

  • Compare the cleanliness and ease of residue removal.

3. 👕 Laundry: Better rinse and odour removal

UFBs penetrate fabrics deeply, removing residues and odors that standard rinsing leaves behind.

How to test:

  • Separate sweaty or smelly clothes into two loads.

  • Wash the first load as usual with tap water.

  • Connect NanoWash to your washing machine inlet.

  • Run the second load with the same detergent and wash cycle.

  • Compare washing results, smell and softness.

Bonus: Over time, NanoWash can help prevent yellow stains on shirt collars and keep your washing machine cleaner.

4. 🚿 Shower: Improved cleanse

UFBs can penetrate pores, helping remove oils and impurities, and improving the absorption of skincare and haircare products.

How to test:

  • Install NanoWash between your showerhead and hose.

  • Shower as usual for a few days.

  • Notice the difference in scalp freshness and skin softness.

  • Haircare and skincare products may absorb more effectively and feel more nourishing.

5. 🐟 Fish tank oxygenation: Enhance water quality

UFBs can increase rapidly the DO (dissolved oxygen) levels in water.

How to test:

  • Use a small water pump to recirculate the tank water.

  • Attach a Venturi tube to inject air.

  • Connect NanoWash to the output to generate UFBs.

  • With a DO meter, measure dissolved oxygen levels.

  • Without a meter, observe fish activity, clarity of water, and algae buildup over time.

✅ From theory to practice—Instantly

You already understand the science behind ultrafine bubbles. But until now, validating those principles meant expensive equipment, proposal submissions, or institutional backing.

With NanoWash, you can begin testing today—using your own budget, without waiting for approvals. No more theoretical potential results. Just hands-on experimentation.

Use real-world results from your garden, laundry room, or shower to spark internal conversations. Show your colleagues. Convince your manager. Bridge the gap between theory and evidence.
