Anyone have any experience with pond aerotor bought in Thailand? Have a small pond with 400 fish. No vegetation, just a clay based pond, and very little oxygen in water. 

 

Useally I have used a larger pond pump, to circulate the whole pond around in a dike going to both ends of the pond, but this year they did not install it on thebottom before rainseason started. 

 

Any suggestions?

The Mrs & I have a small fish tank in the garden where we installed a small solar water fountain pump, works great,  bought it off Lazada and I noticed they also sell solar aerators. Maybe there's one to fit your pond.

Thank you, looking at that one and a few others, but to little capacity. 

 

Just rigged up the garden sprinkler and let that one work for a few hours a day, as long they are small, and then lower the water pump just below the surface  to make a water fountain when they get bigger, and do not need to worry about the fish to get sucked in and through. 

 

This is one solution for later when we make a bigger pond, but cant find anything that looks promising in the middle of smaller garden ponds, and larger farming ponds.

 

 

something like this?

Can be done using a solar panel,many sizes available.

This is the aerator I bought on Lazada

I see I did not post the last link, but this one looks promising.

Great, same I was thinking would do. How does it work? And how long did you have it in use? Reliable and quality Wise?

In daylight ( doesn’t need bright sun) the solar panel powers the electricity motor which turns a chain drive to turn the paddles.

 

I leave in running.

 

quality issues. The supplied chain drive stretched and ended up jumping the sprocket. After adjusting it a few times I swapped the chain for a stainless heavy duty one.
