Pond Size & Application Guide

With its 10 LPM airflow, this system is best suited to medium and larger garden ponds. Use the table below as a practical guide to pond size and recommended usage.

Pond Category Approx. Capacity Typical Stocking Recommended Setup
Small Ponds Up to 1,500 gallons
(≈ 6,800 L)
Light goldfish stocking
Wildlife ponds
5-stone system for broad coverage
Medium Ponds 1,500–3,000 gallons
(≈ 6,800–13,500 L)
Small koi groups
Mixed goldfish ponds
5-stone system recommended
Medium–Large Ponds 3,000–4,500 gallons
(≈ 13,500–20,400 L)
Heavier goldfish stocking
3–5 koi
Cylinder diffuser for deeper areas
Large Ponds 4,500–6,000 gallons
(≈ 20,400–27,000 L)
Medium koi collections
Deep ponds
Cylinder diffuser strongly recommended
Very Large Ponds 6,000+ gallons
(27,000 L+)
Larger koi collections
High-demand systems
Multiple units for full coverage

While the 5-stone system offers the best overall coverage for most ponds, the cylinder diffuser is the stronger choice for deeper water, long hose runs, or areas where you want a more concentrated oxygen boost. Its design produces larger, more forceful bubbles that travel further from the release point, making it ideal for ponds with deeper zones, waterfalls, or strong currents. Many customers also prefer the cylinder for its tidy, single-point installation and clean appearance on the pond floor.

Care & Maintenance

Regular light maintenance keeps your aeration system performing at its best throughout the season.

Routine Care

  • Rinse air stones or cylinder periodically
  • Check hose runs for kinks or blockages
  • Monitor airflow and bubble pattern

Seasonal Checks

  • Spring startup inspection
  • Clean solar panel surface
  • Adjust panel angle for summer sun

Performance Tips

  • Position panel in full sun
  • Distribute stones strategically
  • Review setup after hot spells

Flexible Solar Aeration for Healthier Ponds

Whether you’re running a koi pond, wildlife pool, or a larger ornamental feature, this 5W dual-configuration system offers reliable, zero-running-cost aeration with the flexibility to suit different layouts and depths. Choose the diffuser setup that fits your pond, then let the solar power and professional pump technology quietly take care of the rest.

How Your Pond Aerator Works

Understanding the simple but effective operation of your aeration systems, with and without battery backup.

Basic Operation

  • Solar panel converts sunlight to electricity
  • Powers efficient diaphragm pump
  • Pump creates continuous air flow
  • Air stones diffuse oxygen into water
  • Creates vital water movement
  • Operation is reduced or paused in shaded locations, even during summer.

Solar-Only Systems

  • Direct sunlight operation
  • Strongest in peak daylight
  • Variable flow with light levels
  • No nighttime operation
  • Zero running costs
  • Will not run in shade or heavy cloud, regardless of season.

Battery-Backed Units

  • Daytime charging
  • Night-time operation possible
  • Consistent air flow
  • Weather-independent backup
  • Extended operating hours
  • Performance still depends on sunlight for recharging.

Oxygenation Process

  • Air bubbles rise through water
  • Oxygen transfers to water
  • Creates vertical water movement
  • Improves surface gas exchange
  • Prevents stagnant areas

System Benefits

  • Increases dissolved oxygen
  • Supports pond life
  • Reduces algae growth
  • Prevents stratification
  • Eco-friendly operation

Performance Factors

  • Available sunlight
  • Panel positioning
  • Stone/cylinder placement
  • Pond depth and size
  • Seasonal variations
  • Shaded panels mean reduced or no operation at any time of year.
