Hi Larry, Lorentz offers an aeration pump based on their Boost pump system. I will send you specs off-list. We usually, however trend towards the Lorentz floating fountain pump for aeration-quite effective and efficient!

I assume you want the maximum oxygen for the minimum energy? or do you want the pond to have some circulation to prevent freezing? I would think just pumping air to the bottom would be a low return, prehaps spraying the water in to the air through small nozzels? or circulating surface water down to the bottom? a skimmer and then a circulae pump? I wlll ask a friend who is in water conservation and relay.

Higher voltage DC preferred for direct PV module power. I'm not sure how to calculate the pressure and volume needed but a similar 120vac pump draws about 1200 watts and delivers about 9 CFM. I assume that the same wattage DC motor would mean comparable air supply. Any experiences out there?
