1hp Solar Aerator Fountain (Air-O-Lator Carnival) Installed in Australian Pond

How do these units handle a build up of organic matter ? Do they filter or somehow clean the water running through them? In a dam for cattle quite often there is a lot of weed and stuff on the dam.

There is a small inlet screen at the point where water is pulled into the prop. This is to protect the prop from damage caused by large debris. This can get clogged over time and would show up in reduced performance of the fountain display. If it clogged completely it would cause the control box to shut the unit down and protect the motor. In practice you don't want this to happen so the unit should be cleaned anywhere between 1-3 months depending on how dirty the dam is. Keep in mind that a lot of debris is moved away from the unit as the airborne water returns to the surface. In extreme circumstances an after market debris screen can be used and easily DIY. The instruction manual shows how to do this.

Do these aerators have timers?

[@scottytucker3571]

There are no timers on the solar powered versions
