Over 200 of these Solar Powered Lake & Pond Aeration systems sold right here on Ebay alone & many Happy Ponds (and their Owners!)  Compare at $850 +++  (& in some cases even much, much more than that).  We offer "hands down"........the Best Value !!! .............................look around even a little and you will see.

 - - - - WE'VE SOLD OVER  1000  AERATION SYSTEMS ON EBAY ALONE!!!   NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE!!! - - - IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO IMPROVE YOUR POND, OUR "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" RETURN PRIVELEGE MEANS NO RISK TO YOU!!!! - - - - - I cannot say enough good things about AIR DIFFUSER style  Aeration systems utilizing small specially sized, efficient compressors (installed on the shore) connected to a Self-Weighted Air Diffuser  with 3/8" pvc rubber tubing.  We run several of these types of systems at our fish farm.  Visitors are always welcome if you're in the area.  We're open 7 days a week too!  (608) 254-2735

What's really great about this sytem is that it is COMPLETELY SOLAR POWERED!!  (Yes, FREE power).  No monthly electric bills follow you when using this system. 

After many, many requests from those of you who are a long, long way from the Power Grid to your pond who wanted something "alternatively powered".....................Well, here it is!  We've spent over a year and a half testing, monitoring and procuring the right components for an AFFORDABLE, DEPENDABLE and BENEFICIAL  Solar Pond Aeration system.  If you have not aerated your pond before, trust me...................YOUR POND WILL COME TO LIFE in the coming weeks and months after you begin aerating!!!!  This system is for people with ponds where the cost of connecting to the power grid is enormous (because if you Can connect to the electricity lines, you're much, much better off going that route - please read "WHY SOLAR SUCKS" below to learn more). 

ABOUT THIS SYSTEM :

This Auction INCLUDES: The top quality,  USA made Solar Air Pump  RATED FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY (very important), 50 feet of 3/8 inch inside diameter PVC Rubber Air Tubing (to connect compressor to the INCLUDED "Self-Weighting", maintenance free - Flow Max ULTRA Air DIFFUSER" which is "tossed" out into the pond and allowed to sink.  Also included is all the necessary connectors, clamps, inlet air filter, etc. to install your system right out of the box!   PLUS - Our entire system is backed by our 90 Free Replacement Warranty!!! (folks- please remember, this does NOT cover physical damage to the solar panel).  You should be able to enjoy years of service with this system.

You will have to do the following:  Mount SOLAR PANEL securely in a South Facing location at about a 30 degree angle.  Panel has a sturdy aluminum frame with pre-drilled mounting holes.  The panel is glass and you don't want it to blow over and break in the wind.  (Trust me, i know - we've done it!)  Aiming the panel is easy as you can hear the air pump running faster as you point at the most efficient angle toward the sun.   You will also need to mount the pump in a somewhat sheltered area to keep rain/snow/sun etc. from direct contact.  You can mount the air pump indoors somewhere if you choose but this is Not necessary.  We've found the simplest and best location is at the back side of the solar panel and simply provided with a small angled roof (tin, wood, etc.) over the top to provide some shelter.

This system was designed to be as Affordable as possible, yet still deliver performance worthwhile for your pond.  We've chosen the 3 foot tall x 15 inch wide 15watt panel (see pics) which are over-rated just to the point of allowing your system to operate during many average "semi-cloudy" days.  Output WILL drop during cloudy conditions, but WILL typically continue to operate.  The output will vary from a maximum of about 1/3 CFM in bright sunlite.  Less during dusk and dawn and cloudy periods AND will stop running during the night, ready to resume the following daybreak.

There are options available to those of you wanting more performance.  Option #1: Add another solar panel, for full output even during cloudy weather.  Option#2:  Install more than one of these systems and Option #3- For those serious customers wanting a large custom tailored system (prices start at about $1,000.) we can provide whatever you need if you are willing to invest this kind of money into your pond project.

So, YES SOLAR Electricity is cool!  It's FREE and typically long lived (photovoltaic panels typically last 20+ years in service).  Also, not getting an electric bill is awesome too.  BUT BEFORE YOU BUY A SOLAR POWERED SYSTEM PLEASE READ BELOW:

"WHY SOLAR SUCKS" -

1.  Solar doesn't work at nite without added expense of storage batteries and usually another (or more) panels.

2. Solar puts out DC electricity.  AC power can be made with the extra expense of a Power Inverter (also decreases your efficiency, as the inverter uses power to operate).

3. DC powered electric motors are typically not quite as long lived AND More Expensive than similar sized AC electric motors.

4. Up front costs of installing solar vs. regular system (for same output) is at least Triple!

This covers what we feel are the major points with solar power.  If you're still interested after reading this then perhaps a SOLAR SYTEM is the RIGHT Application for your needs.  Try to find a system priced anywhere near Our Price that isn't some kind of cheap "plastic toy".  You'll probably spend nearly double anywhere else, if not a whole lot more than that.  This is a commercial duty continuous run system with QUALITY components.  This system is meant to provide years of use.  Please email me with any questions.   Thank you

NOTE - If you're interested, you may want to bid now as we will extend the auction before the 12 hour period is close.  As you probably know - this option is not available to sellers on any auctions with bids on them.   Thanks, Brent.
