Dissolved Oxygen Systems

Increase yield, root growth, prevent diseases, and increase nutrient uptake with dissolved oxygen.

Nanobubble Generator & Dissolved Oxygen Systems for Irrigation

Enhance root health, boost growth, and prevent disease with oxygen-rich water.

What Is Nanobubble Technology & How Does It Increase Dissolved Oxygen?

Nanobubbles are microscopic gas bubbles, typically 10-200 nanometers in diameter—about 1,000 times smaller than a human hair. Their unique properties, including a high surface area-to-volume ratio and exceptional stability in liquids, make them highly effective in plant cultivation. Research shows that when ozone is introduced as nanobubbles in irrigation water, it enhances root zone oxygenation, improves nutrient uptake, and boosts disinfection, leading to healthier, more resilient plants.

Boosts Dissolved Oxygen → Stronger roots & better nutrient uptake
Fights Root Disease → Eliminates pathogens like Pythium & Fusarium
Prevents Biofilm & Clogs → Keeps irrigation lines clean
Improves Water Efficiency → Better absorption & plant performance

Healthier plants start with better water. Nanobubbles make it happen.

Dissolved Oxygen & Nanobubble Systems

The missing nutrient in your irrigation water.

Boosting dissolved oxygen (DO) levels with nanobubbles is a game-changer for plant health and crop productivity. Our DO and nanobubble irrigation solutions enhance root oxygenation, nutrient absorption, and disease resistance, leading to stronger, healthier plants. Engineered for efficiency, easy installation, and scalability, our systems deliver optimal oxygenation and water quality—helping growers achieve higher yields and improved plant performance.

Why Is Dissolved Oxygen Important for Plant & Root Health?

Consistent dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are key to strong roots, better nutrient uptake, and faster growth. BioTherm’s nanobubble technology enhances oxygen retention and distribution, ensuring steady DO delivery with every irrigation cycle. Higher DO levels help prevent root diseases like Pythium and Fusarium, keeping plants healthier.

Advanced Nanobubble Technology Built for Reliable Oxygen Infusion

At BioTherm, we’ve been passionate about dissolved oxygen for over a decade. For those who’ve been with us from the start, you might remember our first product, the TOOB, which used a membrane technology. While it was effective and still works for many, we listened to our customers who reported challenges like clogging and maintenance issues.

Continuous innovation for better solutions

We didn’t stop there. We kept innovating, moving the needle forward to develop a better solution. After years of research and collaboration with growers, we discovered a proprietary method that eliminates the issues of clogging, fouling, or sudden system failure. These systems are the culmination of hard work, designed with you—the grower—in mind, because we believe in the power of dissolved oxygen, and we think you should, too.

How our Nanobubble Technology Works

Yes, we measured our nanobubbles!

Our DGS system generates nanobubbles measured with precision using Anton Paar Litesizer technology. These nanobubbles are smaller, more stable, and deliver consistent oxygenation throughout your irrigation system—enhancing plant health and boosting yields.

Built for growers, engineered for plants to thrive.

With BioTherm’s systems, you’re not just buying equipment—you’re investing in cutting-edge technology backed by over a decade of expertise. Unlike other nanobubble machines on the market, BioTherm’s proprietary design ensures your system won’t fail, foul, or cause costly disruptions. These systems are purpose-built with growers in mind to reduce maintenance, maximize efficiency, and deliver consistent results.

More than just an innovation, this is the missing element in your irrigation water—ensuring healthier crops, better root development, and optimal growth for your plants. BioTherm’s dissolved oxygen systems are designed to seamlessly integrate into your operations and elevate your growing potential.  

These systems are purpose-built with growers in mind to reduce maintenance, maximize efficiency, and deliver consistent results.

Let’s explore this dissolved oxygen journey together and discover how BioTherm can help you unlock the full potential of your growing operation.

Not All Biofilm Is the Same

Biofilm can form in any irrigation system, regardless of oxygen levels. The difference is the type of biology present:

  • Low DO environments encourage anaerobic biofilm (slimy, unstable, problematic)
  • High DO environments support aerobic biology (cleaner, more stable, beneficial)

The goal isn’t to eliminate biology entirely—it’s to create conditions where biology works for your crop instead of against it.

Does Higher Dissolved Oxygen Cause Biofilm?

It’s a common concern—and a fair question.

Increasing dissolved oxygen (DO) does not create biofilm problems. In fact, it helps prevent the type of biofilm growers are typically trying to avoid.

Biofilm issues are typically caused by nutrients, stagnation, and poor sanitation—not oxygen itself. When dissolved oxygen levels increase, the irrigation system shifts from anaerobic conditions to aerobic conditions, creating a cleaner and more stable water environment.

 

What We See with DGS™

In practice, growers often see the opposite of what they expect.

By increasing dissolved oxygen, DGS™ helps:

  • Eliminate anaerobic conditions (no slime, no smell)
  • Support healthier root systems so plants outcompete microbes
  • Keep irrigation water more stable overall

Rather than feeding unwanted biology, higher DO improves the balance inside the system.

DGS™ Series: Nanobubble Generator & Dissolved Oxygen Systems

DGS™ Series

DGS-M, DGS-L

Our Dissolved Gas System (DGS) Series is a highly efficient gas-to-liquid infusion technology that increases measurable dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in irrigation water.

The DGS Series is a lineup of plug-and-play dissolved gas systems built on a stainless steel frame, making it corrosion-resistant and able to withstand the elements of the growing environment.

The DGS-M™ is capable of handling up to 4000 gallons per day, and the DGS-L™ is capable of handling 10,000 GPD.

Both systems can be used in a reservoir tank, deep water culture (DWC), in-line, and in booms or misters.

OGS™
Oxygen Gas System

The OGS uses advanced technology to generate oxygen, ensuring that water supplied to plants has optimal dissolved oxygen levels. The OGS is designed for easy installation and integration into a DGS oxygen system. The plug & play design means that it can be quickly set up with minimal technical expertise.

DGC™ Dissolved Gas Controller

Your crop depends on consistency, and dissolved oxygen (DO) is a difficult variable to control, but the BioTherm DGC™ Dissolved Gas Controller works with the DGS systems to optimize DO levels at your set point. The DGC reads dissolved oxygen and temperature in your irrigation line or tank, and controls the oxygen infusion process. Touch screen user interface displays real-time data and allows navigation to adjust settings and alarms.

Dissolved Oxygen and Plant Root Health

Roots receive the essential elements your plants require to grow and thrive: water, oxygen, and nutrients. When crops do not receive a proper amount of dissolved oxygen, the root system weakens and compromises their ability to absorb nutrients. This put your crops at risk for disease.

Studies have proven that elevating the dissolved oxygen levels in water result in increased root growth. Plants with bigger roots grow faster and healthier, due to increased nutrient consumption and distribution. Increasing the oxygen saturation levels maximizes your crops ability to utilize essential nutrients and defend itself from diseases and pests.
