most underrated pond channel
Thank you for watching!
How do you match the solar panel output to the (presumably) 110V pump? On top of the solar controler does it need an inverter and buffer battery?
What's the compressor specification used ?
Can this be done on a smaller scale say a koi/ goldfish pond 15x25 ?
Beautiful property.
What is the general rule for the spacing of diffusers .
For example 70 ×40 meter dam, average depth 2 meters
Thank you for the question! Diffuser placement is generally based on the overall size and depth of the water body to be aerated and its shape. Once overall size/depth/shape is determined the diffusers are placed evenly throughout the water body while attempting to keep them in the deeper areas of the lake. Generally, (but not always) diffusers end up being 100’-200’ apart with pond depth being the main factor. With 6.5’ or so of average depth (like you have) we would recommend diffusers be placed closer together than if the average water depth was 15’ as an example. Diffuser placement is not easily defined and is typically designed on a per pond basis. Also, we typically don’t recommend diffused aeration for ponds with a depth of 8’ or less. We would recommend surface aerators. If you would like, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-753-5253 and we would be happy to discuss this with you in greater detail.
Why all the froth on top of the pond?
What size is this 1/4 hp taking care of. Is it figured by area or column feet of water?
Thank you for watching Steve. The size of the unit was recommended by the manufacturer based on the surface area & depth of the waterbody. If you have a question about your pond and what size diffuser you may need, call us at 1-800-753-LAKE. W would be more than happy to get you a custom recommendation.
What wattage are each panel? That looked like a lot of watts for 1/4 hp
Thank you for commenting and watching the video...Each panel is 330W and 36V.
How did you decide number of solar panels and capacity of the motor???.
Thank you for watching! The manufacturer recommended the sizing on the compressor motor and system, based on the surface area and depth of the waterbody. The solar panel array size is determined by the manufacturer as well and is based on the size of the compressor in the system. This particular solar panel array is the optimum size to operate the size compressor in this system. If you need any more help with design assistance, please feel free to contact us!
@@aquaticcontrol sir how about 12hp motor? can you send me some quotation in my email : hnicylene@gmail.com
@@nicchan1783 We will be in touch! Thank you for the comment and for watching.
How much is this system?
I need that exact setup , how much approx we talking about ???
Give us a call and we would be happy to get you a free quote. There are multiple factors when pricing these systems out. We can be reached at 1-800-753-5253.
Can it run 24/7?
Thank you for reaching out Jim. Solar-powered aerators with battery back-up are designed to operate 20 hours a day. Solar-powered aerators without battery back-up will only operate during daylight conditions. The unit you see in this video does not have a battery backup.
What does a unit like this usually run
These types of systems start out around $4,000 (including delivery and installation) and go up from there depending on the exact requirements for the pond that they are being installed in. If you would like a custom quote, please reach out to us and we would be more than happy to provide a quote. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@aquaticcontrol what's your email. Im a year or two away. I have to redid and design my pond. Wont be very big, but I'm interested in total off grid system for aeration and for water flow.
Again not a big pond less than an acre
@@mr.mikesart7111 We can be reached at sales@aquaticcontrol.com. From there, we will get you connected with one of our Fountain/Aeration specialists!
Do you do installs
We sure do! We did the installation in this video. Give us a call for a free consultation at 800-753-5253.
Calling now for a quote.
At 1:10 he states "no power anywhere" while there are power lines in the background lol
No power to the pond is what we meant to say, but Adam himself had the same comment when watching initially!
And no end-result shown. Fail.
We aren't able to upload images to the CZcams comment section, but use this URL to see the results on our Facebook video post: fb.watch/d1oUEVh3OJ/ - It turned out great!
