Abstract

A method is provided for use with an apparatus which produces jets of water through a vertical water diffuser tube by supplying individually formed air bubble masses at regular intervals, which are followed by the water being drawn under the action of the air bubble masses. The method improves the water processing efficiency and ability of the apparatus by defining the volumetric quantity of a formed air mass in relation to the diameter of the particular air diffuser tube and defining a certain relationship between the length L (m) of the tube through which the rises and the time interval T (sec) at which the individual air bubble masses are produced.
