Solar Pond Oxygenator For Larger Ponds 12 Watt Stone & Cylinder Option

Step 1: Choose the Placement

• Select a dry, sheltered location near the pond for the oxygenator body
  • Suitable locations include under foliage or shaded areas
• Position oxygenator body on its feet for proper airflow
• Avoid covering the oxygenator to prevent heat buildup

Step 2: Connect the Battery Backup

• Position battery backup system:
  • Place horizontally on its feet
  • Ensure terminals face downwards
• Connect oxygenator cable to labeled battery port

Step 3: Install the Solar Panel

• Find optimal sunlight location
• Connect 5-meter cable to battery backup system

Step 4: Place Oxygenator Tubes

• Deploy 3-meter oxygenator tubes:
  • Position air stones or cylinder strategically
  • Ensure full tube submersion
  • Arrange for even aeration distribution

Step 5: Power On and Test

• Activate the system:
  • Switch on battery backup
  • Check air flow distribution
  • Verify solar panel charging

Important Considerations

• Battery placement must be horizontal, terminals down
• Keep oxygenator body uncovered
• Ensure tubes remain fully submerged
• Regular performance monitoring recommended

1. Solar Power Generation

• The system is equipped with a high-efficiency polycrystalline solar panel, typically around 12 watts in power.
• The solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy, which is then used to power the oxygenator.

2. Battery Backup System

• The electrical energy generated by the solar panel is stored in a rechargeable battery backup system, typically using LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries.
• This battery backup system allows the oxygenator to continue operating even on overcast days or at night when the solar panel is not generating power.

3. Air Pump and Aeration

• The battery-powered air pump is the heart of the oxygenator system. This is typically a DC diaphragm air pump, which is power-efficient and reliable.
• The air pump draws in air and forces it through the oxygenator tubes and air stones or an air cylinder placed in the pond.
• The air stones or cylinder release the air as fine bubbles, which help to increase the surface area of the water and facilitate the transfer of oxygen from the air to the water.

4. Airflow Distribution

• The oxygenator system is designed with multiple (typically five) independent air flow outlets.
• This allows the air to be distributed evenly throughout the pond, even if the air stones or cylinder are placed at different depths.
• The even distribution of air helps to ensure that the entire pond is effectively oxygenated.

5. Weatherproof Design

• The oxygenator body is designed to be weatherproof and can withstand outdoor conditions, including rain and direct sunlight.
• This allows the system to be placed in a sheltered location near the pond, without the need for additional housing or enclosures.

Eco-Friendly Solution

By utilizing solar power, a battery backup system, and an efficient air pump, the Solar Oxygenator for Larger Ponds provides a reliable and eco-friendly solution for oxygenating and maintaining a healthy pond ecosystem, even in areas without access to mains power.
