The Solar Can-Air® SS Diffused Aeration System with Cabinet is the ultimate eco-friendly solution for maintaining the health and clarity of your pond or lake. Powered entirely by solar energy, this advanced aeration system ensures optimal oxygen levels, promoting a thriving aquatic ecosystem without needing electricity. Its innovative design includes a durable, weather-resistant cabinet that houses the high-efficiency compressor and control components, guaranteeing longevity and ease of maintenance. Perfect for remote locations and environmentally conscious users, this system offers a sustainable way to enhance water quality, reduce algae growth, and support aquatic life.
Unlike any other system on the market, the Can-Air® diffuser guarantees to land upright every single time it's deployed into your water body. Its diffuser surface area surpasses the competition by 38%, ensuring more efficient oxygen distribution throughout your pond or lake. Manufactured entirely in North America, our compressors are a testament to durability and reliability, backed by a comprehensive warranty.
The Can-Air® SS diffuser offers the same reliable aeration system as the Can-Air® diffuser, but with a slightly smaller stainless steel base, which is self-weighted for easy installation
- Durable Stainless Steel Base
- Self-righting; just toss some hose in water, and then the diffuser
- No gravel needed in the base to sink it - just lower it into the water
- Easy to assemble and install
- 100% designed and assembled in Canada
- No electricity in the water. This can be especially important where swimming is allowed.
- No floating equipment at the surface. Boating is not hindered, and the lake's natural beauty can be enjoyed.
- Can-Air® Aeration will improve water quality by slowly moving water over the pond's bottom substrate. Phosphates are reduced by up to 95% in many cases.
- These systems can effectively de-stratify and aerate deep lakes with much lower equipment costs and energy consumption. Can-Air® systems are the most efficient and cost-effective on the market.
- Low maintenance. Most maintenance and inspection may be conducted onshore. Rocking piston compressors do not require internal maintenance as often as other compressors.
- Works in depths up to 35' deep
- This system is sufficient to keep fish alive if sized correctly. Algae must be kept at a minimum to prevent oxygen depletion.
- This system has an inverter built into it. This system is not meant for external inverters.
- The solar components are not meant to be replaced. The solar drive is sensitive to power and can withstand a maximum of 400 volts
Note: Solar Systems will only operate in direct sunlight

Installation
Can-Air® SS Aeration System Manual
Can-Air® SS Diffuser Installation
If there is no aeration currently in your fish pond, the diffuser should be lowered roughly half the depth and then slowly lowered to the bottom over the next few weeks at a rate of 2 feet every other week until it reaches the pond bottom.
If the diffuser is lowered to the bottom right away, you risk stirring up toxic gases that could kill your fish. Lowering it slowly over time will eliminate this risk.
