Abstract:
A water aeration system ( 10 ) encases an air pump ( 60 ) and a solar power controller ( 62 ) in an encasement structure ( 34 ) with one or more air permeable sidewalls ( 42; 44 ). The encasement structure is mounted at or near a top end of a mounting pole ( 32 ). A solar panel ( 50 ) is mounted directly or indirectly to the encasement or to the mounting pole at or near the top end of the mounting pole, optionally with screens ( 80, 82, 84, 86 ) connected to the backside of the solar panel. An air conduit ( 20 ) is threaded through a hollow channel in the mounting pole or structure associated therewith, and then underground and/or under water for joining to an immersed diffuser ( 12 ). The system is protected from tampering where the air pump and controller are inside the encasement structure, the solar panel and encasement structure are mounted several feet above the ground surface, the underside of the solar panel is shielded by protective screens, and the conduit between the pump and the diffuser is held inside the mounting pole or structure associated therewith.

Claim (Index 1):
A water aeration system, comprising:\n a mounting pole defining an inner channel substantially along its length and having a top end and a bottom end, with the bottom end adapted for insertion into a ground or a footing spaced apart from and outside of a body of water to be aerated for establishing the mounting pole upright with its top end above the ground or footing surface; an encasement mounted at or near the top end of the mounting pole, said encasement defining an internal space; an air pump held within the encasement; a conduit for air pumped into the conduit by the air pump, said conduit having a length and connected at one end to the air pump and at its opposite end adapted to connect to at least one diffuser, wherein substantially the length of the conduit that is above ground and out of water is protected from tampering by the encasement and the mounting pole or structure associated with the encasement or mounting pole; a solar panel defining a sun-facing surface and an opposite surface, the solar panel directly or indirectly joined to the encasement or the mounting pole such that the solar panel is at or near the top end of the mounting pole, wherein said solar panel generates power that may be converted to current for driving the air pump; and one or more protective screens positioned over at least a portion of the opposite surface of the solar panel.
