Frequently Asked Questions

WHY DO CUSTOMERS NEED AERATION FOR THEIR POND/LAKE(S), ESPECIALLY SOLAR AERATION?

There are over two million water ponds in the US created by people altering the earth for agricultural, industrial, or scenic purposes. These man-made water features mostly count on rainfall to maintain the water levels, which easily leads to accumulated pollution from the surrounding area. Without circulation and at the right temperature, algae can overgrow and deplete oxygen levels in the water. Furthermore, the decomposition of dead fish will cause an imbalance in the fragile ecosystem inside the pond.  As reported, this kind of problem mostly happens in the summer with plenty of suns.
Simple to say, pond aeration is like a ventilator to humans. It gives the pond a “lung” to breathe. Then, fish and other microbes can survive to balance the pond ecosystem without chemical and other human interference. 
Solar aeration is the perfect fit for this application since a hot summer is the worst situation for pond oxygen, but ideal for increased solar energy. On top of that, solar aeration requires no grid so it can be used at any remote location where a pond was built.

 

IS IT WORTH HAVING SOLAR AERATION VS. REGULAR AC AERATION?

Yes, on top of saving the cost of hiring a certified electrician to have a dangerous AC power line extend to the pond, the electrical bill is also saved for all the years of operation. Solar aeration is not only for those preferring sustainable technology, it also suits people who want to save green bucks.

 

WHY IS LWE SOLAR TRULY GREEN TECHNOLOGY?

We take the most challenging approach to develop our product that operated without a central power grid and a battery which are both known sources of pollution to the environment. A completely solar-powered system can be easily installed at remote locations in less space. Our advanced digital diagnosis system can detect and prevent failures and further reduce resources wasted.

 

WHY OUR PRODUCTS ARE SAFER THAN COMPETITOR PRODUCTS?

First, there is no high-voltage power line under the ground in rough terrain. Second, the whole system runs at low voltage (<30 V) that won’t cause human harm. Third, the built-in digital detector will automatically shut down when any failures happen. Our main goal is to keep customers safe.

 

WHY MAKES OUR PRODUCT HIGHLY EFFICIENT?

Our control system uniquely combines advanced Max Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and motor control technology together. Given customer location and yearly weather change, it will gather the maximum level of power from the solar panels by MPPT and convert it to a drive motor with less energy wasted. Additionally, the system doesn’t require any heatsink, since minim loss of energy. The system only requires one solar panel to generate the same result as competitor products that require two or more under strictly defined solar panel combinations.

 

CAN BE INSTALLED BY A CUSTOMER WITHOUT A CONTRACTOR?

Absolutely, the compact design weight of fewer than 30 lbs. can be easily installed on any pole top (metal preferred). Users can plug and play without any extra setup. Solar panel MC4 quickly connects to the system and it will work under any daytime condition.  No certified electrician is needed and no special training is required. Customers can connect the air hose to the diffuser and place it in the most effective area in their pond.

 

HOW MUCH MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED?

Since the system is mounted off the ground, less dust and debris can clog the filter preventing the main cause of maintenance work.  The LED indicator light will show any failures in the system, which eases the troubleshooting.  Additionally, compressor refurbishment kits are available if customers want to extend the product life after the warranty expires.

 

COMPARING OUR WARRANTY VERSUS COMPETITORS?

With our experience in compressor industries, we selected the most efficient rocket piston, diaphragm, and linear compressor for the application. BLDC also has proven reliability versus any other motors. All these features guarantee customers a higher quality warranty than any competitor.

 

WHAT IS THE RETURN POLICY?

We build our product to maximize quality. All products have 45 days of no-question return and 6 months of replacement for any manufacturing defect.

 

WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS LWE SOLAR OFFERS?

Since the breakthrough of integration of MPPT and motor control system, the first group released are four solar aeration products covering various depths and sizes of water features. They are what we call Land Based, which requires pole construction and an air hose extended from bank to deployed diffusers. The next group will be solar fountains, then will be floating aeration and fountain products. We will apply the technology to serve the customer to any low-power solar applications.
