Our pick of the solar oxygenators!! The PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump is perfect for small ponds. This small solar air pump includes its own battery backup. Summer Sale Save £10.00
This is the most sophisticated solar air pump in the PondXpert solar range as it has the benefit of battery back-up. When instant oxygen is not required simply switch the unit to back-up and it will charge up the rechargeable batteries (supplied) inside the unit. This stored energy can then be used to supply oxygen to your pond when desired.
Air pumps are essential for the health of your fish - especially in the summer when oxygen levels are depleted. Additional air leads to additional water circulation and a healthier pond.
The PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus is perfectly suited for the following ponds:
1500 Litres / 330 Gallons (No Fish)
1100 Litres / 240 Gallons (Fish Ponds)
500 Litres / 110 Gallons (Koi Ponds)
Accessories included with the SolarAir 200 Plus:
• 3m electrical cable between the panel and pump
• 2x 2m of airline
• 2x airstone
Solar Powered: The SolarAir air pumps are powered by the sun and contribute a good flow of air into the pond. No electrical installation required!

PondXpert SolarAir 200 PLUS reviews
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Only recently set this pump up in our pond. With the hot weather here in the South of England the pond was suffering from a lack of Oxygen in the water. This pump is just the job! It works so very well! The Solar panel is very sensitive and even works on a cloudy day! The bubbles are small, which is ideal. Minimal disturbance to plants. It is definitely doing the job I want it to do!
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Really powerful pond air pump. The two lines are a bonus and large solar panel makes sure you get maximum air
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Product installed & working well.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
For the moment is working perfect for my pond even if my pond is double the size that this air pump can handle
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Worked exactly as expected
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
The pump seems to be working really efficiently. It’s reassuring that during the hot weather the water is no longer stagnant. It’s pleasing to see the pond being oxygenated without seemingly upsetting pond life. Also there has been a reduction in the algae too.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
I have percist a few of these they work really well. The only criticism I have is that the pump only lasts about 18 months to if you're lucky 3 years.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Great product just what we needed for our pond
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Does what it says on the tin, used for emergency when our pump stopped working due to blockage. Therefore not having to rush in this hot weather to fix it. Great as a temporary measure.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
First impressions, but, either the batteries are poor, or the solar panel is lacking a bit of ooomph. It could be ofcourse that I have missed something in the very useless instructions that came with the unit. When it actually works it’s tip top!
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
I bought this item because I wanted air stones that were solar powered, even though I knew it wasn't really appropriate for the size of my pond, but I was very pleasantly surprised as to how good it actually is! I am very happy with the purchase.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Easy to assemble, with clear instructions. Works well
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
If I was to buy it again, I’d get the one with the charger adapter for the dull days. The pump itself is great though. I did however have to weigh the air lines down with a couple of pairs of flat pebbles to stop them floating to the top of the water. Other than that, it’s a great product for the money!
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Easy to set up and it is now operating as expected.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Well made although I'd like to see a sturdier fixing to the ground spike and perhaps an option to purchase an extension lead to enable the solar panel to be positioned further from the pump...lead resistance not withstanding.
PondXpert SolarAir 200 Plus Pump
Poor quality solar panel with an absolutely useless mounting system.
This consists of a three piece spike that relies on a 1mm thick piece of plastic to support the whole assembly. I hate to think what the result would be on a windy day. Last but not least, no charger supplied with an item that really needs one. It requires more than a day to fully recharge the batteries by solar panel. Not impressed.
