Frequently Asked Questions - 821452 Wetelux

Where to place the pump?

Place the pump at the edge of the pond, in a dry and safe place. Do not submerge it.

How to install the solar panel?

Attach the stand to the panel, use the ground stake (with extension if needed) and orient the panel to the south, without shade, for maximum sunlight at noon.

The pump does not work, what to do?

Check that the panel receives enough sunlight (no shade). In low sunlight, the pump may not work. Make sure the pump plug is properly connected to the back of the panel.

At what depth to place the air stone?

Place the air stone about 30 cm below the water surface, preferably on stones to prevent it from being clogged by bottom dirt.

How to clean the solar panel?

Use a glass cleaning product, with plenty of water and a soft brush or cloth to avoid scratches.

Should I clean the air stone?

Yes, clean the air stone from time to time to prevent clogging of the fine openings.

What to do in case of frost?

Store all parts of the aerator indoors, away from dust and extreme temperatures, after carefully cleaning them.

Can I use the pump underwater?

No, the pump must not be submerged. It must remain in the open air, at the edge of the pond.

What to do if the solar panel is broken?

A broken solar module (shattered glass) cannot be repaired. It must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Contact customer service.

Can I repair the device myself?

No, the device contains no user-replaceable parts. In case of damage, contact customer service or a qualified electrician.

Operation

Intended Use

The pond aerator is designed for light water circulation and thus for oxygenation of small garden ponds. In summer when high temperatures are present, a kind of “film” can build up on the pond surface and the surface does not absorb oxygen. The oxygen level decreases. Due to the rising air bubbles created by the pond aerator, the pond surface is constantly in motion and oxygen can be absorbed at the surface.

Install the pump on the edge of the pond. The pump is powered via the solar module and operated independently from the mains in direct sunlight. The pump pumps the air through a 2 meter silicone tube to the aeration stone. Using the ground stake the solar panel can be attached on the ground.

Assembling and Using

1. Connect the plug of the pump cable (1) to the socket at the rear of the solar module (2). Adjust the front side of the solar module directly towards the position of the sun at noontime. Setup the solar module by using the ground stake (5) that can be extended with the extension piece (4). Attach the solar module holder (3) to the top part of the solar module (see picture on the right). Avoid any form of shading in order to achieve the highest possible yield.

1. Put the aeration stone (7) on the one end of the air hose (6).
2. Connect the other end of the air hose to the pump (1).
3. Roll out the cable of the pump and install the pump on the edge of the pond.
4. Put the aeration stone into the pond (approx. 30 cm below the pond surface). If possible, put the aeration stone on top of some stones in the pond and not directly onto the ground level of the pond to avoid soiling of the capillary pin holes of the stone.

Notes:

• The performance of the pump depends on the season and on the position and orientation of the solar module. If there is too little sunlight, the pump may not start. In this case please use a different method to aerate the pond.
• Keep the openings of the pump free from any obstructions. Do not operate the pump under water.

• Clean the aeration stone in regular intervals.

• The surface of the solar module is made of glass. Be careful when assembling the system. Do not break it. There is risk of injury. A broken module cannot be repaired it has to be disposed of environmentally compatible.

• During the winter time store all components of the solar pond aerator indoors at place that is protected from dust, dirt and extreme temperatures. Clean all parts thoroughly before storing.

Cleaning the Solar Module

• Soiling on the front-side of the glass surface will reduce the incidence of light onto the solar cells and this will decrease the output of electrical power.
• In case of heavy soiling, clean the glass with usual glass cleaners. To avoid scratching the glass surface, use plenty of water and a soft brush or a cloth.

Check the electrical cables at regular intervals for any form of damage or corrosion and for firm fit on the cable connections.
