{"product_id":"solar-floating-fountain-pond-aerator-5000lh","title":"Solar Floating Fountain \u0026 Pond Aerator 5000 L\/h – 160W, Remote","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarge ponds and farm dams have a problem small ones do not: without movement, the water stratifies, oxygen drops and algae take hold. A floating aerator fixes that, but the conventional ones need a cable run out over the water. This unit floats free and runs entirely off two 80 W panels, so there is nothing to trench and nothing on the electricity bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAeration first, display second\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5000 litres per hour of throughput is doing real work here — breaking the surface, driving gas exchange and keeping the water column turning over. The fountain plume is the visible part, but the oxygenation is what keeps fish healthy and holds algae back. Head height is 2.5 m, which gives a substantial spray without pushing the pump beyond its efficient range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBecause it floats out of reach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit self-adjusts to the water level, so a dam that rises and falls through the season needs no attention. And since wading out to a floating fountain is nobody's idea of a good time, it comes with a remote control good for 100 m — you adjust it from the bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum flow: 5000 L\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum head: 2.5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump rating: 49 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating voltage: 18 V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolar array: 160 W total (2 × 80 W panels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote control range: 100 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperation: daylight hours only, no battery included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: free-floating, self-levelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAeration for large garden ponds, dams and estate water bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFountain displays that also improve water quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting fish stocks through better oxygenation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing stagnation and algae growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaylight only.\u003c\/strong\u003e No battery is included, so aeration stops overnight.
