These solutions are not economical from the energy point of view, since they require energy not only for propulsion, but also for cleaning systems, which increases their consumption.
On the other hand, they are not always suitable for cleaning large areas per hour, which is why periodic net changes are frequently required, which worsens oxygenation inside the cages with fish.
On the other hand, these solutions have proven to be inefficient, in that it frequently presents the plugging of injectors, which makes the devices lose functionality, being necessary to remove them to repair or unclog said injectors.
