Patent attributes
A water aeration system encases an air pump and a solar power controller in an encasement structure with one or more air permeable sidewalls. The encasement structure is mounted at or near a top end of a mounting pole. A solar panel is mounted directly or indirectly to the encasement or to the mounting pole at or near the top end of the mounting pole. An air conduit is threaded through a hollow channel in the mounting pole, and then underground and/or under water for joining to an immersed diffuser. The water aeration system operates without a battery or energy accumulator, and is tamper-resistant. The air pump and controller are inside the encasement structure, the solar panel and encasement structure are mounted several feet above the ground surface, and the conduit between the pump and the diffuser is held inside the mounting pole.
