Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Thoughts on Solar Aerator Package

I've got a pond around 1/3 to 1/2 acre that I'm looking for a solar aerator package for. Max depth 12 feet. I'd like battery backup as hopefully I'd run overnight rather than through the day. There's a few packages I found around 7k, but I found the attached package for quite a bit less. It's a 1/4 hp pump, which may be on the low side. My other thought would be to ask for a 5/8" manifold and weighted line rather than the advertised 3/8". Otherwise, does this seem like a reasonable package for my size pond? Thanks!

Life span of an air compressor has numerous variables. With the right air compressor and size of airline one can push air to a diffuser 1000-2000ft. That air compressor (rocking piston 1/2hp) can then produce twice the amount of air volume compared to the solar one (single head) you listed above. Plus in a 1/2 acre pond the air diffused aerator with the right diffuser system would only have to run 3-5 hrs per day in an average 0.5 ac, 12 ft pond. What is average - a pond not surrounded by trees, decent wind exposure, not full of submerged weeds, not highly eutrophic with average water clarity around 3-4ft.
