$6,095.95
| Enclosure | Powder Coated Aluminum Cabinet with Cooling Fans, manifold, and Pressure Gauge |
| Compressor | 1/4 HP |
| Solar Panels | 3 |
| Weighted Airline | 100' of 1/2" |
| Diffuser | 1 Dual Disc Air Station |
This is a complete system that includes solar panels, a mounting frame, 5′ galvanized steel mounting pole, compressor, powder coated aluminum cabinet, quick cable disconnects, weighted airline, and diffusers. Solar panels power the compressor and weighted airline runs from the compressor down to a diffuser located in the bottom of your pond. As air is pumped down to the diffuser, fine bubbles rise up through the water column which causes water to circulate in the pond. This prevents it from stratifying and helps to distribute oxygen more evenly throughout.
Solar aerators are designed for ponds and lakes that don't have a source of power. This is a direct drive system that utilizes a high efficiency, rocking piston compressor that will operate even on moderately cloudy days.
Benefits of Aerating Your Pond
Aeration will create a healthier ecosystem by accelerating the decomposition of organic material/muck, which acts like fertilizer for the weeds and algae in your pond. Aerating your pond will also make your fish grow faster and prevent fish kills resulting from low oxygen levels.
All ponds will naturally stratify/layer as a result of varying pond water temperatures. This layering prevents oxygen from making it down to the bottom of the pond. Over time organic matter such as leaves accumulate there and, since there is very little oxygen available, this material undergoes anaerobic decomposition, which is slow and produces foul odors. When the accumulation of organic matter is more rapid than the decomposition rate, muck begins to accumulate, creating a nutrient rich layer of fertilizer which feeds plants and algae.
Adding oxygen to the bottom of your pond creates a more rapid, aerobic decomposition environment. This reduces the amount of muck and nutrients in the bottom of your pond which slows the growth of weeds and algae, eliminates odors, and makes your pond cleaner and more attractive.
