Extra-Large Ponds 5,000–8,000 gallons Heavy koi stocking Multiple units recommended
Commercial Waters 8,000+ gallons Professional environments System scaling required

Installation & Optimisation

Correct panel positioning and diffuser placement ensures maximum daily runtime and stable aeration output throughout spring and summer.

Panel Positioning

  • Face panel toward midday sun
  • Avoid shade during peak hours
  • Use full 5m cable flexibility
  • Clean surface regularly

Diffuser Planning

  • Spread stones across pond zones
  • Place cylinder in deepest area
  • Avoid blocking circulation paths
  • Check airflow consistency

Seasonal Use

  • 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
