I have a spring fed, 18,000 gallon, 17'x47' pond that I would like to
add a solar-powered aerator to. Googling found several.

http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product....d=40-0072+MSTR
Thomas 1/10 hp air pump delivers 1.4 cubic ft. per min. (CFM) at free
discharge, or 0.8 CFM at 10 psi. It draws a maximum of 8.5 amps and can
be driven to full output by a pair of 75-watt PV modules.
Thomas 12V 1/10hp Air Pump Price: $260.00
Air Diffuser Price: $190.00
Solar Converters 10A LCB Price: $135.00

SP-Bubbly aeration system.
Air line: 1/4" I.D.
Air Diffuser included
Maximum water depth: 6 ft.
Solar Module: 12V | 10 watts | 15" x 24.25" | Height 48" | 18 lbs.

Any experience with these?

Any others to recommend?

Any ideas?
