Introduction
OXY (Oxygen Release), SORB (an Adsorber) is a proprietary formulation of Watch Water®. OXYSORBTM granules in water produce a controlled release of Active Oxygen for periods of up to one whole year on a single application. The core of granules OXYSORBTM is a non-hazardous, food grade adsorber to bind and scavenge grade Phosphate, Nitrates, Hydrogen sulfide including Toxic organic compounds (TOC). Watch Water’s OXYSORBTM has another name “magic bullet” solution in a single dosing oxidation and adsorption. OXYSORBTM technology and the process work to destroy contaminants in just a short period of time.

Application
Watch Water’s purpose is to remove contaminants from water, on a Earth’s planet’s surface. These applications often refer to: Water pollution affects the entire biosphere plant and organisms living in these bodies of water. OXYSORBTM is the most important product for keeping all the waters safe and non-toxic. OXYSORBTM is life for all waters no matter where the water is – why? Read carefully Oxygen is the most imporant constituent of waterbody health.
Without oxygen at the bottom of the water body, anaerobic bacteria (that live without oxygen) produces acids. These acids not only increase acidity but also causes a MASSIVE release of Phosphorous and Nitrogen, the two major fertilizers that form the organic sediment into the water column. At the same time, these anaerobic bacteria put toxic gases in the water including Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S, which is very toxic even at 0.01 mg/L with rotten egg smell), ammonia, carbon dioxide and methane. TOC = Toxic Organic Compounds are toxic to all life forms including fishes, beneficial bacteria, and insects. Only OXYSORBTM can speed aerobic bacteria, support healthy fish, increases total oxygen content which gives water plants to adsorb nutrients and use them more efficiently. Any other method of increasing dissolved oxygen are useless and unsatisfactory because of the requirement of excessive agitation which moves nutrients to the surface encouraging more Algae growth or because they do not ensure sufficient oxygenation.
IMPORTANCE OF OXYSORBTM
It adsorbs up to 99% of phosphorus and nitrogen in the bottom section of the water body where it becomes food for beneficial muck consuming bacteria and insects. The insects then become one of the best foods for fishes, improving healthy fish growth. Water pH stays around 7.6 all the time when treated with OXYSORBTM

QUESTIONS
OxySorb™ (OXY = Oxygen Release, SORB = Adsorber) is a proprietary granular formulation by Watch Water® Germany. It releases active oxygen continuously for up to one year while simultaneously adsorbing phosphates, nitrates, hydrogen sulfide, and other toxic organic compounds (TOCs) from water.
OxySorb™ granules dissolve slowly, releasing controlled oxygen into the water. The oxygen supports aerobic bacteria, restores ecological balance, and oxidizes harmful compounds. Meanwhile, the adsorber core binds and removes phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfides, and organics that fuel eutrophication and odor.
It is designed to reverse eutrophication and restore natural water quality in lakes, ponds, rivers, reservoirs, wetlands, and groundwater systems by oxygenating and cleaning the water without mechanical aeration.
A single application can release active oxygen and adsorb pollutants for up to 12 months, depending on water conditions and contaminant load.
- ☛ Works without energy or agitation
- ☛ Provides long-term oxygenation
- ☛ Simultaneously removes nutrients and contaminants
- ☛ Creates no sludge or harmful by-products
- ☛ Phosphates (PO₄³⁻) and Nitrates (NO₃⁻)
- ☛ Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)
- ☛ Ammonia (NH₃) and Methane (CH₄)
- ☛ Total Organic Compounds (TOCs)
- ☛ Heavy metals (partially adsorbed)
- ☛ Odors caused by anaerobic activity
By removing the nutrients phosphorus and nitrogen, OxySorb™ starves algae and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), preventing blooms and restoring water clarity.
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) thrive in nutrient-rich waters. They produce toxins that can harm humans and animals, causing skin irritation, vomiting, liver damage, and respiratory distress. OxySorb™ helps eliminate the nutrients that cause these blooms.
Each granule releases oxygen gradually throughout the water column, especially at the bottom, where anaerobic bacteria typically deplete oxygen. This steady release supports aerobic organisms and reduces toxic gases.
- ☛ Stabilizes pH around 7.5–7.6
- ☛ Supports beneficial aerobic bacteria
- ☛ Prevents fish kills due to oxygen depletion
- ☛ Reduces toxic gases (H₂S, CO₂, CH₄)
- ☛ Improves fish health and aquatic biodiversity
Within hours of application, oxygen release begins and odor reduction is noticeable. Water clarity and biological improvements develop progressively over days and weeks.
Yes. It reduces Geosmin, Trihalomethanes (THMs), Chloramines, and other compounds responsible for unpleasant taste and odor in reservoirs and water supplies.
- ☛ Appearance: Yellowish, odorless granules
- ☛ Oxygen available: ~20 % (w/w)
- ☛ Oxyperoxide content: 75 % (w/w)
- ☛ Adsorber content: 5 % (w/w)
- ☛ pH (0.05 % solution): 7.5 | pH (1 % solution): 11.5
- ☛ Bulk density: ~1250 kg/m³
It is typically broadcast or distributed evenly across the water surface or placed in mesh bags near inflow or high-flow zones. For groundwater or tanks, it can be added directly to the system.
Yes. It effectively removes ammonia, sulfides, and organic load in aquaculture ponds, wastewater lagoons, and industrial effluent systems, improving water quality and reducing odor.
OxySorb™ represents a Green Revolution in water restoration — transforming polluted, nutrient-rich water into usable, oxygenated water suitable for drinking, irrigation, and agriculture, preventing eutrophication and supporting sustainable ecosystems.
Anaerobic bacteria take over, producing acids and gases like H₂S, CO₂, and CH₄. These release phosphorus and nitrogen from sediments back into the water, worsening eutrophication. OxySorb™ prevents this by maintaining oxygen levels and capturing these nutrients.
It can remove up to 99 % of phosphorus and nitrogen in the bottom layer of the water body, transforming them into food for beneficial bacteria and aquatic organisms.
Store OxySorb™ in its original sealed 60 kg drum with PE liner, in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Shelf life: 2 years.
Because it restores oxygen, balances nutrients, supports healthy aquatic ecosystems, and converts toxic stagnant water into living, self-sustaining environments. OxySorb™ brings life back to water.
