In the present invention, Preferably, at least ten inlets are formed.

The pressure resistance portion 720 is formed such that pressure resistance occurs between the water flowing toward the center of the inlet and the water flowing toward the inner wall by causing water to flow toward the inner wall of the inlet.

That is, in the bubble nozzle unit 700, the water flowing through the inlet 710 flows through the inner wall of the inlet 710, is refracted due to the frictional resistance generated by the friction guide 730, , A sudden turbulence is generated due to a pressure resistance acting in a direction opposite to the pressure of water having a single directionality of a high flow velocity flowing through the center side, and a large number of turbulent layers are formed before being discharged through the outlet 740 And the water flowing through the inlet port is expanded several times through the pressure-resistance portion 720 and the friction guide portion 730, so that the micro-bubbles are generated because the dissolved oxygen is micrometer-sized in terms of micrometer size.

As shown in FIG. 5A, a plurality of inflow holes 911 having the same diameter are formed at regular intervals along the outer region of the center of the cap 910.

The adjustment member 920 is rotatably coupled to the end of the handle 110 in such a manner that one end covers the outside of the cap 910 and is rotatably engaged with the rib 911 radially in the surface corresponding to the inflow holes 911 of the cap. And the center of the rib 921 is engaged with the pin 922 at the center of the cap 910.
