Key Features
Solar-Powered Aeration: Designed for remote ponds where a conventional electrical power source is unavailable or impractical.
Daytime Operation: Powers up with sunlight, operates at variable speeds, and shuts down after dark.
Variable-Speed Performance: The solar array gradually increases or decreases water flow as available sunlight changes.
Battery-Free Design: Operates without the costly, high-maintenance batteries commonly used with some solar aeration systems.
Low-Profile Water Movement: Minimizes the vertical water display while producing high-volume circulation for oxygen transfer.
Pond Oxygenation: Adds oxygen to the water to support fish and promote the breakdown of decaying organic matter.
Muck Reduction Support: Increased oxygen helps break down decaying material that contributes to muck accumulation.
Surface Cleaning: Strong surface currents help remove surface algae and floating debris.
Two System Sizes: Available as a two-panel, ½ hp system and a four-panel, ¾ hp system.
Oil-Free Motor: Uses a stainless-steel, oil-free submersible motor that does not require oil changes.
Freshwater and Saltwater Use: Designed for operation in both fresh water and salt water.
Winter De-Icing Function: Can operate as a pond de-icer during winter conditions.
No Seasonal Removal Required: The aerator may remain in the water with the power turned off during winter and be restarted after the water thaws.
Subzero-Condition Durability: Components are designed to withstand subzero conditions without damage.
Complete Solar Control System: Includes a disconnect box, Fhoton™ drive solar inverter, and required wiring components.
Made in the USA: Manufactured in Holland, Michigan.
Safety Compliance: ARL-tested and compliant with UL standards and the National Electrical Code when installed as a complete package.
