Primrose 29cm Solar Powered Round Floating Oxygenator Aerator for Small to Medium Ponds Automatic

This product is really effective. It supplements my pond pump and helps to keep the pond clean. The recent sunny weather has proved how effective the solar system works and the goldfish seem to be much more active in the cleaner pond water. I was so pleased with the product that I purchased a second one as a spare.

Purchased for my dad’s pond. Easy to install. Good that it doesn’t have trailing wires for him to trip over. Seems to work ok, but as others have said, the air stone supplied is very small so I have purchased a larger one.

For me, one of these oxygen aerators is essential during the summer months. I tend to leave the main part on the side of my quite small pond. It's easy to set up; all you have to do is attach the line with the air stone to the solar part. It works better in full sunshine, but will also work in low light, although less well.

Good product, certainly runs well when in direct sunlight, but not sure it was made clear enough in the advert that it ONLY runs in DIRECT sunlight, we have a pond on the South side of our house, in South Wales, yet this doesn't start pumping until the sun is really high in the sky and if there is any cloud cover, it stops entirely. It's certainly some welcome oxygen when the sun is directly on the pond, which as the advert says is when it's most needed, but if the sun goes behind a cloud for a few seconds, this thing stops altogether and if it's a cloudy day, with plenty of sunlight still causing Algae growth, but no direct light to fire up the device, this doesn't work at all, so contributes nothing at that point and becomes a floating plastic disc :( It's not the most attractive product either, so with two fountains, a pump and a UV filter already running and some oxygenating plants in my pond as well, I may take this off the pond altogether for what it actually adds. For those with smaller ponds, (Mine is only 1333 litres, so not massive) who are not looking for crystal clear water and attractive features (I am), this will no doubt be perfect to keep the water that little bit cleaner with little effort, but if you're wanting something to do some all day oxygenation, regardless of cloud cover and to continue oxygenating once the direct sunlight has stopped, in order to try and make up for the time that the pond was in direct sunlight through the day, this probably isn't for you.

Worked great for two weeks and now doesn’t work, cleaned everything that might have blocked/stopped the air but still doesn’t work.

My outdoor pond (about 550 litres in size) was getting little smelly which I feel was down to low oxygen levels during sunny days. I found this solar reasonably powerful enough though not as powerful as a mains one but that's to be expected. Though it's designed to float in the pond, I found it takes up too much surface area so I fitted a longer hose and placed it outside of the pond also I have a lot plants that were blocking the sunshine at times. I had consider getting one with separate pump and solar panel but preferred to get this one as it is self contained and a good price. It only works when it is in direct sunshine though this is when it is most needed. I placed it at a slight angle to where the sun is at its highest. I found it has improved the condition of my pond. My only gripe is being a sealed pump it's not likely to be serviceable though with the amount of sunshine about I don't feel it's likely to wear out quickly. I recommended this product.

It works , good product, as long as the sun shines it works , most important thing it provides air to water the fish soon come to enjoy it.

This has been in the pond for a week and what a difference! The water is clear and looks better. It’s a cheap little solar oxygenator, if I have to get one every year then it’s not a problem, I think some of the reviews are from people expecting years worth of results, but if you want that, pay for a powered filter, if you want a quick and cheap solution or have issues running power to a pond then this solar disk is perfect. I weighted the pipe with the air stone on to keep the stone lower in the water which has worked well.
