FAQs

How does the solar oxygenator work?

The solar panel converts sunlight into electricity, which powers the pump to push air through the tubing and into the air stones, releasing oxygen into the water.

How often should I clean the air stones?

It is recommended to clean the air stones every few weeks or as needed, depending on the pond's condition. Debris build-up can reduce the efficiency of the oxygenator.

What if my pond is heavily shaded?

If your pond is heavily shaded, the oxygenator's performance will be reduced. You may need to supplement with an additional aeration method, or consider relocating the solar panel to a sunnier location if possible.

Can I use this oxygenator in a fountain?

This oxygenator is designed for ponds. The air stones need to be submerged in water to function properly; therefore, it is not suitable for use in a fountain unless the fountain has a pond-like environment.

What is the flow rate of the oxygenator?

The maximum flow rate is 180L per hour.

What are the dimensions of the air stones?

The air stones are 3cm x 3cm.

How long is the cable and tubing?

The cable is 3m and the tubing is 2m.

Troubleshooting

Oxygenator not working

Check the solar panel for sunlight exposure. Ensure the connections are secure. Clean the solar panel to remove any dirt or debris.

Reduced oxygen flow

Inspect the air stones for blockages and clean or replace them. Check the tubing for kinks or damage. Ensure the pump is correctly connected.

Air stones not bubbling

Check the tubing and air stones for blockages. Make sure the pump is correctly connected and receiving sufficient sunlight.
