00:15100 peroxide gets broken down and converted to water and oxygen in a matter of, you know,
00:22minutes to hours. So it's in there, but before you know it, it's all water again. It's usually
00:29a good short-term fix, you know, and it works best when applied just as an algal bloom is
00:36taking off, like, you know, before it gets too intense.
01:02There's also a water temperature aspect. So the warmer it gets, essentially the quicker
01:07the hydrogen peroxide burns off and the quicker the algae can rebound. So there's always going
01:12to be a rebound of the algae and the speed with which that happens is going to be a function
01:18of temperature. Warmer temperatures happens faster. And also how intense the bloom is to
01:22start. If it's very intense, like the water's really, really green, they may be more likely
01:28to rebound. It's most harmful to animals that are 100% in the water. So for example, when
01:38it's added to lakes and ponds, it can lead to low oxygen conditions and that can lead to
01:42fish kills. For wildlife that's sort of on the water like birds, it might be a mild irritant,
01:50but I don't think any, you know, it's not a lethal risk.
02:14It looks pretty green. So like I said, that suggests that the, you know, the, that maybe
02:21the, the nanobubble approach wasn't scaled right. And also that, you know, that's, that's a hard
02:28one to get rid of. You know, hopefully, hopefully it works as a, as a quick fix. But they, you
02:35know, these algae do tend to, to rebound.
02:51The rate at which the water is being refreshed, I've heard things about the water circulating,
02:56maybe some leaking out, some new water being added. And that adds another, that's another wild card in
03:01it all. Because, you know, if the water is circulating or being refreshed, it's possible that
03:08that could make things, these technologies more or less likely to work depending on what that source
03:13water is.
