Well, the literature indicates that it gets the oxygen from the water itself. The basic way to do that is electrolysis. This gives off two parts hydrogen gas and one part oxygen. The device would likely have two sets of mesh or wires held at different potentials in close proximity to split the water. If that is how it works, and there was any sodium chloride or other chlorides dissolved in the water, you would be making a bit of chlorine gas with it as well. Probably not that good for fish, and thats what gives bleach its smell. Rich
