ULTRAFINE BUBBLES
A nanobubble, or ultrafine bubble, is a bubble that measures less than 200 nm in size. For reference, that is roughly 40 times smaller than a red blood cell, or >500 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Because of their extraordinarily small size (up to 200 million nanobubbles can be present in a single droplet of water), nanobubbles are buoyance neutral and have a unique ability to remain stable in water for months.
This means they don’t simply float to the surface and dissipate, while moving through-out an entire water column (top to bottom) under the Brownian Motion principles.
Due to nanobubbles extremely small size, they have a very large surface area to volume ratio. When combined with proportionally high internal pressures, nanobubbles are extremely efficient when it comes to gas transference (as high as 90%).
Due to their extremely high count (up to 200 million nanobubbles per mL of water), the fact that they carry a strong negative charge, and are buoyancy natural, nanobubbles disperse evenly through-out a water body. This even dispersion means that the benefits of nanobubbles are seen throughout and entire water body.
Another unique feature of nanobubbles is the fact that they can remain stable within a water body for up to 3 months. In the absence of encountering bacteria, contaminants, or other stimulation (i.e. high frequency vibrations) the nanobubbles will retain their effectiveness over time.
When the nanobubbles contact bacteria or other contaminants, or simply become unstable over a period of time, they implode. The imploding bubbles release energy and create what is called a hydroxyl radical, which is an extremely powerful, naturally occurring oxidant.
Due to the design of the nanobubble units, you are able to entrain different gases (not just pure oxygen) into the nanobubbles themselves. This versatility allows your pumpable liquid to be the conduit for carrying gases in various types of applications.
NANOBUBBLES
SWAT’s technology is a water pump based, nanobubble creating system which was developed and patented by Homeport Water Treatment Equipment Trading LLC (Homeport), that utilizes the oxygen found in the air, which is purified up to 95%, then entrained into nanobubbles.
The oxygen enriched nanobubble water is then pumped out to the water body you are treating, where the nanobubbles come into contact with bacteria and other contaminants. When the bubbles encounter the bacteria, they implode, releasing energy and powerful oxidation radicals which breakdown and bacteria.

Working with our clients every step of the way.
Discussion & Testing
Right from our first interaction, SWAT is striving to understand our customers unique challenges and how we might be able to deliver value add solutions.
Establish KPIs
Once we complete an initial water analysis test, we work together with our clients to establish certain KPI’s designed to create transparency and client benefits, while establishing the best possible treatment system for each individual customer.
Begin Trial Program
As with any emerging technology, we understand that real value comes from being able to see the results for yourself. SWAT will install an nanobubble unit and monitor the initial performance for a period of time. Trials are a low risk (installation fee only) and effective way to better understand the benefits that nanobubbles can deliver for our customers.
Lock-In Lease Contract
Following the completion of a successful trial, we look forward to finalizing long-term 3 to 5 year service lease contracts with our customers.
Continued Full-Service
During the course of your lease, SWAT will perform remote monitoring and water testing services, regular maintenance and provide a warranty for the duration of the lease term. Your service does not end after signing the dotted line. We are committed to our customers.
COMMITMENT
At SWAT, we pride ourselves on working together with our customers to not only deliver the best possible solutions for their water application, but also deliver the best possible service. This is why at SWAT, we don’t simply offer to sell our clients nanobubble units, instead we work on multi-year lease programs where we stay connected with our customers providing them with on-going maintenance, warranty service, remote water monitoring, and regular water analysis testing.
WHO WE ARE
Our core values are not just words, but they are how we approach business and how we want our clients to think of SWAT. Quality business is based on great customers, and great customers are gained through building strong business relationships with HONESTY, RESPECT and COMMITMENT.
THE FUTURE
The most unique and powerful part of nanobubbles is their physical size. Its because of their size that they are buoyancy neutral, remain stable for extremely long periods of time, allow for extremely efficient transfer of gas, and are powerful oxidizing agents.
All of these properties are what make nanobubbles the future of clean water technology. Eliminating bacteria, viruses, pathogens and other foreign contaminants from a water body, without the use of harsh chemicals, is an extremely powerful tool.
Creating a stable nanobubble utilizing an energy efficient machine is not easy, but it is something that our partners at Homeport have been able to perfect and patent with their nanobubbles units.
Let’s find you the right solution.
