Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Another Solar Aeration Project

MNFISH,

I love people who push the limits!! I do have a few questions if you have the time.

1. How do you protect the pump until you get enough power from that one panel to run it (IE while it has partial sun and is producing some power, but not enough to run it)?

2, What pump is that? Did you find that off the shelf, or did you build it from parts?

3. How many amps?

4. How did you check the CFM rate?

5. What diffuser are you using?

6. Are you protecting for ice or thermal cline?

Thanks for any info, I have been doing mine for a while now as well, but I went with a battery and inverter style system because mine needs to run over night. I also want the rest of the power for pumping water from pond to pond and other functions.
