Landscape ponds and wildlife scrapes, when left to their own devices, often experience stratification and stagnation. Both of these common conditions can lead directly to oxygen depletion. When power is unavailable, off-grid ponds age quickly, leading to:
Algae growth
Foul odors
Reduced ecological efficiency
Mosquito production
Runaway duckweed infestation
Low ecological value to fish and wildlife
Effective aeration is essential to address these challenges by promoting water circulation and oxygenation. Explore Midwest Ponds' range of solar aeration systems to find the perfect solution for your pond.

Very difficult to get 24 hours of aeration without a very large solar array and battery system
Most Solar Aerators shut down at sunset. This isn't ideal, but long-term gains are still possible using this strategy
Even the battery backup air kits won't give a full 24 hours of runtime.
Midwest Ponds offers a variety of solar-powered aerators, including:
Keeton Solaer SB-2.3+ Solar Powered Off-Grid Diffused Bubbler Style Subsurface Aerator: Ideal for ponds up to 4 acres, this system features a battery backup for up to 20 hours of daily run time, improving water quality and reducing muck. Several sizes to fit your needs.
Easy Pro Deep Water Solar Aeration Systems: Designed for ponds and lakes up to 35 feet deep, these systems utilize rocking piston compressors to deliver effective aeration to deeper water depths.
Scott Aerator Solar Powered DA-20 Fountain Aerator and Boilermaker: Truly the easiest and fastest way to bring aeration to a remote pond or a cabin in the woods. Ideal for shallow ponds where diffused aeration is not the best strategy. If your pond is 6-8ft or shallower, this is your best, most efficient option for pond aeration.
These aerators are designed for durability, high performance, and easy installation. Depending on your pond's needs, both diffused aeration and surface aeration systems are available.
To further support your pond's health, consider:
Water Quality Testing Kits: Essential for monitoring oxygen levels and overall water quality.
Beneficial Pond Bacteria: Work synergistically with aeration systems to manage and reduce algae growth.
Utilize native strains of aquatic bacteria to degrade the smelly organic goop on the bottom of your pond.
Work nutrients up the food chain - concentrating the productivity of your water body into big, healthy fish.
These products, when used alongside aeration systems, contribute to optimal pond health. Bundle deals and recommended product combinations tailored for solar pond owners are also available.
To ensure long-term performance:
Installation: Follow the manufacturer's step-by-step guide for installing your aerator, ensuring all components are correctly assembled and positioned.
Maintenance: Regularly check and clean components to maintain efficiency, including inspecting air filters and diffusers for blockages. This is easy and is only required once per year (most of the time).
Troubleshooting: Refer to provided resources for common issues and solutions, such as addressing unusual noises or decreased performance.
