How It Works
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electrical energy, powering the aeration compressor while simultaneously charging the battery backup system. The compressor pushes air through weighted airline to deep water diffusers positioned at the lake bottom. The diffusers release fine bubbles that rise to the surface, creating circulation and oxygen transfer throughout the water column. The battery backup ensures continuous operation even during cloudy weather and nighttime hours.

FAQ
Q: What size lake will this system aerate?
A: The SASD12 is designed for deep water lakes up to 1.5 acres. Actual coverage depends on depth, shape, and specific aeration goals.
Q: Will this work during cloudy weather or at night?
A: Yes! The included battery backup system stores solar energy during sunny periods, allowing the system to operate continuously during cloudy weather and nighttime hours.
Q: Do I need any electrical connection?
A: No, the SASD12 is completely off-grid and runs entirely on solar power. No electrical connection is required.
Q: How deep can the diffusers be placed?
A: The system includes deep water diffusers designed for maximum depth aeration. Consult the specifications for exact depth ratings based on your lake configuration.
Q: Is professional installation required?
A: While professional installation is recommended for optimal placement and performance, experienced DIYers can install the system following the included instructions.
Q: How much maintenance does the system require?
A: Solar aeration systems require minimal maintenance. Periodically clean solar panels to maintain efficiency, inspect diffusers annually, and check battery condition as recommended in the manual.
Q: Will this work in winter?
A: Yes, the system can operate year-round, including winter. Solar panels continue to generate power even in cold weather, and the battery backup helps maintain operation during shorter winter days.
Q: What happens if there are several cloudy days in a row?
A: The battery backup system is sized to provide continuous operation through typical cloudy periods. Extended periods of very low sunlight may reduce runtime, but the system will resume full operation when sunlight returns.
Q: Can I expand the system later?
A: Depending on system capacity, you may be able to add additional diffusers or solar panels. Consult with us to determine if your system can accommodate expansion.
Q: How long will the system last?
A: With proper maintenance, solar panels typically last 20-25 years, compressors 5-10 years, and batteries 3-7 years depending on usage and conditions.
