Product Overview
Solar Boilermaker Aerator
Our Solar Boilermaker Aerator is a clean, eco-friendly, affordable aeration solution for remote ponds.
Do you have a remote pond without a reliable source of electricity? Our Solar Boilermaker Aerator solutions feature a variable-speed, submersible induction Franklin Electric motor that moves up to 300 gallons per minute in our four-panel model and up to 200 gallons per minute in our two-panel model.
One of the most environmentally friendly water aerators on the market, the Boilermaker is designed to minimize water display while maximizing pond health. Its low-profile design and submersible, solar-powered motor create high-volume water circulation for optimal oxygen transfer. This added oxygen not only benefits your fish, but also plays a key role in rapidly breaking down decaying matter at the bottom of your pond. Over time, more oxygen also means less muck. Meanwhile, the Boilermaker’s powerful surface currents quickly eliminate surface algae and floating debris.
Designed for daytime aeration, the unit powers up with sunlight, operates at variable speeds, and shuts down after dark. Its solar PV array panels gradually bring water flow up to capacity in changing sunlight—all without the need for costly, high-maintenance batteries that many solar aerators require. The motor is stainless steel and oil-free, making it exceptionally durable and maintenance-free.
To top it all off, the Boilermaker works effectively as a pond de-icer in winter. It is engineered to eliminate the need for costly, time-consuming winterization procedures. Simply leave your aerator in the water, turn off its power supply, and forget about it until spring thaw. Then, restore power to the unit, and it’s ready to go. All components are built to withstand sub-zero conditions without damage.
This simple-to-install system comes complete with:
- The Boilermaker Aerator
- Two or four solar panels with pole top rack
- Disconnect box
- Fhoton™ drive solar inverter
- All required wiring components
You need to supply the vertical pole for the panels and frame, concrete footing for the pole, and two anchor ropes with weights or tethers for the aerator.
All our fountains, aerators, AquaSweeps, and de-icers are proudly Made in USA
These products are manufactured using a stainless-steel, oil-free, submersible motor, making them among the most environmentally friendly pond products on the market. Designed for use in both fresh and salt water.
