No Wind? Try Koenders Solar Aeration System DC 200!
Koenders Solar Aeration System is an energy-efficient, cost-effective option for introducing oxygen into ponds where electric or windmill aeration is not a possibility. A solar aerator is ideal for remote locations where there are no electrical hook-ups available, or for the environmentally-conscious consumer who is looking for ways to minimize their ecological footprint and their monthly energy bills. This custom-designed unit offers the highest price/performance and reliability in its category.
The DC 200 system is designed to be most effective in water depths of up to 12 feet.
Bottom-Up Aeration
By pumping a consistent flow of oxygen through the water body Koenders Solar Aeration Systems promote healthy aerobic activity for fish and pond life. The bottom-up oxygenation (aeration) process also provides a source of oxygen that fuels Nature’s Pond Conditioner’s enzymes and bacteria which helps it consume excess nutrients, fish droppings, fertilizers, leaves and other organic matter that builds up as pond sludge which increases unwanted nutrient levels in the water body.
Reduces algae blooms and their frequency and deters weed growth
Eliminates pond odors by venting off harmful gases
Reduces fish kill by dissolving increased levels of oxygen in the water when the fish need it most
Enhances the benefits of Nature’s Pond Conditioner

Hey Chris, how long has Kevin HAD this weird obsession with being a macaroni?
Man has contemplated the beaver for centuries & none have figured them out yet, so don't kick yourself, you'll nail that rascally beaver. Fun times at the pond!
I remember when you started the pond series and when you were building the cabin…I was a heroin addict at the time and your videos kept my mind busy when I was detoxing…this past April 2nd was 3 years clean and sober for me…I just wanna say thank you for all your amazing videos and hard work it takes to make these videos
Chris I Love These Pond Updates Like No Others Thanks For The Updates cant wait to see this thing all done with the fish eating and thriving you and kevin are definitely putting in the time and work For The Fish To Thrive‼️ 🙌🏽
To keep the crane off of your pond, buy a crane decoy from your distributor and move it around the pond every few days. Cranes are lone critters, they generally will not inhabit a small pond where another crane already exists. Best of luck...
Guys I just wanted to say I really appreciate how excited you guys get about bubbles.
Pump is a work horse!
Great idea putting the air-stone in the bucket. That will keep it clean and will work efficiently for much longer than if just dropped in. Also avoids churning the silt up. Really clever.
I don’t comment on videos usually, but I always look forward to you and your brothers content thanks for sharing
good too see the videos coming back wooded Beardsman videos where the first ones i started watching on youtube great content
Love watching and keeping up with the updates. Coolest brothers on TH-cam. Love both channels.
Cutting those trees back is also opening up a VERY nice view.
I like the looks of this pond!! Much better!!
To keep your pond cold you could try to place some floater plants in there,preferably ones that the fish can't eat.
That's a good idea. I wanted to avoid doing anything that would choke up all the top, that might be a good idea.
Glad to see some new content and that your in good health Chris. Looking forward to many many more videos
Wow, that aerator is really pumping out the oxygen! Can't wait for the fish delivery, the pond has really come alive since ya'll worked on it. Love what ya'll are doing ❤️
airatores don't add O2 to water. it agitates the water surface for the nitrogen exchange to happen. really a pond that large you would not really need an bubbler. the wind would agitate the water service enough for O2 to get deposited. an since its so deep and the water volume now is so massive it should be fine.
There isn't enough wind, consistently enough there.
Thanks Chris 👊 Appreciate you my friend 🙏 stay safe and take care 👍
A couple of things to add isomewhat leaves from a river that contain healthy bacteria that will eat fish poop and also if you put a sponge filter around The outside And drill holes in the side of the bucket. That would help filter the water. Also if you put a 90ﾟ angle pipe above the bucket with a lid it will add waterfly in a certain direction of your choice... Maybe also think about live plants in buckets that will keep the ammonia nitrates Down I don't know how much water flow is going in-and-out of your system. Maybe put some type of insulation on the inside of that pump house to lower the noise or build a structure around it. Excellent video keep up the great work stay warm
Great stuff, as always!
The pond looks amazing chris u and your brother did a good job with it
Looking great! Love the new aerator! Get that 🦫!!!!☠☠☠☠
That's pump is way better than the last one you had in the other pond 👍
That solar pump is sick. Wouldn’t work for diving though. You need compressed air for diving. Must be able to power through the atmospheric pressure change. I would just keep installing more traps in all the beavers detours😆man that pond is beautiful 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Love the pond .
Looking forward to you adding fish .
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Awesome pond makeover! Full Stop
Beautiful.
Hey Chris and Kevin! I have a suggestion for you guys! Thanks for the awesome video updates as usual…
For the pump box underneath the solar panel, as well as tons of other things around the property, you should consider stone! Allow me to elaborate…
My father and his father and I have been stone masons for years, and unlike lumber, stone will literally last until the end of time! Securing precious items like the pump box and other things is vital dude!
Mixing cement and grabbing some stone slabs, building a fortified box to keep those things up off the ground is important! Plus it’ll fit the natural look.
Something to keep in mind! Stone! Stone! Stone!
Good idea!
Excellent video sir. Full stop
Looking good
My Favorite Pet Duck i had as a Kid was A Pure White Female Muscovey her Name Was Mrs Quackers 🙌🏽
If you find that you aren't getting enough sun because of shade, maybe you could move the panels up onto your windmill tower. This is probably obvious to you, but a LiFePO4 battery between the panels and the pump could keep the pump running at night for you and there are techniques for using batteries to extend the run time for your solar generator, in a pinch. Having a battery and a cheap inverter down there could even let you power some tools or lights should you need them.
Yup, we were thinking of that!
Beavers got you figured out lol
I've spent the last 3 days just binge watching your videos. Stoked to see this new video!
Nice should have plenty of air flow now 👍👍
You may need a secondary species for a food source. Do some research on Fathead minnows. I believe they will stay small and naturally reproduce so you would have a constant quality food source for your trout. Beautiful pond
Freewell makes a polarised lense for gopros. :)
You guys could use those trees you just fell to make some raised bed gardens around your cabin areas there!
I think Kevin was going with firewood! lol
@@TheWoodedBeardsman ❤
I think you got this time... 3 ways to get air in the water AND a waterfall. That is 4 ways to get air in the water. Way cleaner this time, super cold all year... the colder the water the more oxygen it can hold. If your waterfall is big enough you won't even need the pumps. Well done.
Respect.
On your brothers channel he showed that the fish was put in weeks ago.. great video though. Thanks for the content, and the weekly videos 👍✌️
I'm slow on my edits, unfortunately.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman it looks super difficult. Your editing and filming is awesome. Love your content too. Iv been watching you for a long time all the way from Ohio USA. Thanks for responding, not many channels do that anymore. Have a great weekend! ✌️👍
Awesome video as always Chris !! I cant wait to see the fish in the pond ! You and Kevin have done so much work on the pond . It's amazing what you all have done !! Take care and stay safe my friend!!
Smart beaver
The fishes must be happy 🐟
There you are my basement dwelling nemesis and yes the fish must be happy so don't you go swimming in there or you'll never get the smell of the fish...
@@MICKMAKO13 here comes the child who needs an attention from everyone 😂
@@kingrafa3938 no I had plenty of attention my parents loved me....
@@MICKMAKO13 nope! You're a liar 😂 You need attention coz you're always crying 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Soon enough there will be a whole village around the pond, No doubt haha
nice, way better pump
"Looking for beaver...". I can relate.
If you wanted to scuba dive with that pump, and I and everyone else out here totally think you should, and film it, all you would need is a bucket ( or a big fish bowl ) that will go over your head. Stick the hose under and up into said bucket, with your head. At that point, as long as the pressure in the air hose can push against the water in the bucket and push it out, you should be able to breathe. Sounds like 12 feet may be your limit though, based on the depth limit the pump maker listed. I think they call this type of underwater device a diving bell. We double dog dare ya to try it! LOL
His pipe wasn't 2inches....but he improvised 🤔🤣👌
Hope you catch that tasty beaver 😁
Hi. First tarted watching you and Wes when you did the challenge with Bob Hansler. Lost track for a while - life - then thought I was unsubscribed for some reason but did see when you were first getting the pond going. Now own windmill and solar panels. I’m way down south so up north is interesting.
Supposed to be started - sorry
What about raising a few larger solar panels above the trees so they can get hit during the winter? Of course you would need some way to clear the snow off the panels.
They would need to be 30 foot high as there is a ridge with trees on top.
Hook up an extra battery to the solar to charge so it works day and night!
how much sound does the solar pump make? is it something you just get use too and forget its there or is it always noticeable? Love the content on both channels
It's like a very low sound. You wouldn't notice if there was any amount of wind. At first, I wasn't sure, but honestly not bothersome at all. You could also easily deaden or eliminate the sound by building something around it, but we haven't been motivated to do that, even though we talked about it since it's not that much of an issue.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
All you need now is a waterfall. Simple pump and stone rock build
We could set up a battery system to keep the compressor going at night.
Would it be beneficial to put those solar panels on a flagpole or something of the sort to get them higher in the air so the trees don't block the sun so much? Just an idea and I'm sure you guys could make it work or even screwing or strapping it to the top of a good strong tree to get the most out of the sun! Just throwing it out there for an idea.
There is a hill, and trees on top of it, so we'd need to get 30 ft up to make a difference. The sun also gets lower as the days get shorter.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman hope the windmill works out with the solar together it should be alright! You'll figure it out! Can't wait to see them big trout from the pond when it's all good again!
That plant is Canola or Rapeseed according to my Picture This app. I thought that is what it looked like since they grow that a lot where I live but checked my app.
Aww I thought you was going to stock the pond 😢
Ive heard said If, If the air pump is at the deepest part of the pond. It moves bad water up into the good water and kill fish. I'm sure there's more to it than I understand but I thought I'd mention it.
The thought is that the cool water which trout like, is moved to the top so the fish don't have a refuge. But bottom up aeration is more ideal for cold water species which spend more time at the bottom, versus say a waterfall or sprinkler type aeration, so obviously you need to design how your situation works. Of course, we could put the aerator in the shallow end too, but this pond never got too warm, so should be alright.
put it on top of the windmill
hi cris I have a question where do you get the fresh water in the pond does it connected to some stream or what? do have any plans for next challenge we missed that and off course Jeremy
It's ground water fed. If you revisit some of the pond rebuild, you can see the water springs.
I bet this episode got a lot of Airtime....🤪
Nice one.
Looks like turnip greens
guys. you need to create an ecosystem for the trout. what are they going to eat?
They are trained to forage, and eat pellet food.
Full stop
That air pump is so loud.
Rip to the people that bought the original solar pump you promoted
The original one is less expensive. The current one is much better. Your choice!
Looks like a radish or a beet
An't finished post yet 🤔bubble stone into hot tub 🤭🫣🫡
And then we get to you saying what's on my mind, Get outta my head both of you buggas
1st?
does using tnt to clear beaver dams count as disturbing them ?
Technically yes, and also, the beavers will just repair it anyway.
you could let the beaver win this time.
It's always an option, but we've already lost a few dozen mature healthy poplar. Eventually the beaver will run out of food.
I don't know why people love herons so much...
Tiny pond to put trophy trout in they won’t last long in a small pond like that 😥
I never understand how people are so certain.
Ah kingrafa my basement dwelling nemesis yes the fish must be happy so dont you swim in the pond or you'll never get the smell of the fish ....
No kingrafa not looking for attention my parents loved me......
click bait
What would you do without Kevin for content? But you go on his channel and bash him and his ideas.
I would do some trips and not stick around to edit his channel.
the plant you showed and weren't sure looked like wild lettuce
You guys have kicked 🫏 on this pond build! I remember when you guys were just digging a hole in the ground! Such a difference 👍
Persistence!
