One of my interests is the importance of water to restoring/maximizing health.
There are plenty of informative Ytube videos discussing "Structured" water.
Basically SW means water that contains energy (CHI). I run the RO water through a Vortex Water Magnetizer + a PVC tube filled with river rocks. These I use for cooking drinking, as well as to mix nutes for my rez to restore/create Chi to amplify the benefits of the nutes.
Distilled, RO, and tap (municipal) water are clean, but lack Chi.
I have contemplated various methods to simulate water flowing down a river cascading over rocks, which promotes aeration and Chi. It is commonly called 'flooming' as it releases dissolved oxygen into the air space above DWC buckets, like Under Current. Several months ago, I suggested the concept to those using Under-Current type RDWC buckets off a single rez, but never employed it myself.
I have tried aquarium water falls, but the $40 pumps are too small to generate a proper flow, and I did not want to spend more money for one that might work.
Now there is more than one way to accomplish this in a rez, but here is a super simple way using a 160gph pump ($10) + a half inch flex tubing to make the riser/horizontal extension + an elbow + river rocks (including semiprecious stones, and/or Organite, which combines semiprecious stones, gold and silver foils+copper shavings with Mobius Coil in an acrylic mold + a net pot+ a cup. If you take out the Orgntie, you can assemble this for less than $15. An important key is to have a catch vessel tall enough for the water to cascade out of creating more DO when it slashes into the rez
I have been using Organite in my rezes for 3+ years, but think by having the water/nutes splash directly over it, and then through a layer of river rock will amplify the Chi much more than the Organite simply resting in the bottom of the rez.
The riser should be much higher than in the picture. If i were continuing with DWC buckets, I would raise it to the bottom of the net pot lid, which will create a lot more splash= more aeration
If you don't have Organite, no problem. FYI, I bought my river rock at the Dollar Store
Pic is inside a 3g pail upon which the 6" netpot lid rests. In a couple days I will employ this in my HH 2.O outboard rez.

Instead of Hydro Halo rings I'm going with 1/2 tubing rings (using a barbed T connector) with those 90 or 180 degree EZ Clone spray emitters (DIG 07-080 & 07-081). Also a 1/4" hole punch & thses tube supports willl help:
