Solar pond air pump with dual air stones, 3 LPM airflow, solar-only operation and IP44 weather protection.

  • 3 W polycrystalline solar panel
  • 3 LPM total airflow
  • 1.5 LPM per air stone
  • Max air pressure: 500 mmHg
  • Brushless DC diaphragm motor
  • Quiet operation (< 40 dB)
  • IP44 weather protection rating
  • Solar-only operation (no battery)
  • Pump working voltage: DC 6 V
  • Certifications: RoHS, REACH, CE, UKCA

Overview & Setup

Set the system up by placing the solar panel in full direct sun, then run the airlines so each diffuser stone can sit where you want aeration within the pond.

✓ 3W Solar Panel ✓ 3 LPM Airflow Output ✓ Dual Air Stones Included ✓ Solar Only (No Battery)

By using two separate diffuser stones, this system helps deliver aeration more evenly across ponds with longer shapes, low-circulation areas, or distinct shallow and deeper zones during warmer spring and summer months.

Balanced Dual-Zone Pond Oxygenation

Solar Power Operation

  • 3W polycrystalline solar panel
  • Runs directly from sunlight
  • Designed for daytime aeration
  • No mains power required

Airflow & Output

  • 3 LPM total airflow output
  • 1.5 LPM per air outlet
  • 500 mmHg maximum pressure
  • Quiet running motor design

Build & Safety

  • Brushless DC diaphragm motor
  • IP44 weather protection rating
  • Low voltage DC operation
  • Certified CE / UKCA compliant

Dual Stone Placement Flexibility

Each diffuser stone can be positioned independently, allowing you to oxygenate opposite ends of the pond or target areas where water movement is limited.

Placement Options

  • Two separate aeration zones
  • Ideal for elongated pond layouts
  • Supports better circulation patterns
  • Helps reduce stagnant areas

Included Air System

  • Two 30mm diffuser stones
  • Two 2m airline hoses supplied
  • Simple push-fit installation
  • Easy seasonal removal if needed

Best Practice

  • Place panel in full direct sun
  • Avoid shaded operating areas
  • Keep hoses free of tight kinks
  • Check bubble output periodically

Pond Size Recommendations

This 3W dual-stone system is best suited to smaller ponds where two-point aeration improves coverage during sunny daytime operation. For larger ponds or heavy stocking, additional aeration may be required.

Pond Category Typical Size Recommended Use Notes
Small Ponds Up to 6 ft (≈ 1.8m) Wildlife and planted ponds Dual stones improve coverage
Medium Ponds 6–10 ft (≈ 3m) Ornamental ponds, light fish load Best match for two-zone aeration
Larger Ponds 10 ft+ Mixed stocking or deeper layouts Multiple units may be needed

Simple Solar Aeration for Healthier Water

With quiet brushless operation and flexible dual-stone placement, this 3W solar aerator provides a practical way to improve daytime oxygen transfer in smaller ponds using clean seasonal solar power.

Pond Oxygenator Installation Guide

Complete setup and optimization guide for maximum performance and longevity of your oxygenator system.

Components Check

  • Solar panel with mounting kit
  • Oxygenator pump unit
  • Air stones/cylinder
  • Air tubing and cables
  • Connection fittings

Critical Positioning

  • Never cover pump unit
  • Avoid heat-retaining surfaces
  • Place in natural shade
  • Keep away from direct sun
  • Position above water level

Solar Panel Setup

  • Mount facing south - keep out of all shade
  • Use wall mount if provided
  • Ensure stable mounting
  • Adjust angle seasonally
  • Keep panel surface clean

Stone Placement

  • Position at mid-depth
  • Spread for even coverage
  • Secure tubing carefully
  • Avoid deepest areas
  • Check bubble distribution

Performance Tips

  • Angle panel for noise control
  • Regular stone cleaning
  • Monitor air flow strength
  • Check connections monthly
  • Keep cables tidy

Troubleshooting

  • Check sun exposure
  • Verify connections
  • Clean air stones
  • Inspect for tube kinks
  • Monitor pump temperature

Important Safety Notes

  • Never operate the pump without ventilation
  • Keep all electrical connections dry
  • Do not place the oxygenator body in the pond
  • Store the unit indoors during freezing weather
  • Do not cover the oxygenator body
  • Do not place it inside tubs or enclosures
  • Ensure open airflow around the unit at all times

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.
