Bring reliable, maintenance-friendly oxygenation to your pond with the Vanguard Hydro-Torque Solar Series 300W Aeration System. Designed for longevity and energy independence, this solar aeration kit uses a 180W solar panel and a high-efficiency Hiblow air pump to maintain optimum dissolved oxygen levels for fish, plants and water clarity — without drawing from the grid.

Built for both shallow and deep installations, the Hydro-Torque 300W package is supplied with a pre-programmed inverter, battery protection, weatherproof IP65 aluminum housing and an attractive stone-style pump enclosure. The system is fully autonomous: it harvests solar energy to power the pump and runs on intelligent controls so you get consistent aeration, reduced algae risk, and improved pond health — all while saving on electricity costs.

Whether you’re upgrading existing aeration or adding aeration to floating Christmas tree displays or bottom aeration systems, the Vanguard Hydro-Torque 300W is engineered for dependable performance and easy setup. Backed by a 3-year warranty on solar and aeration components (and a 5-year warranty on solar components), it’s an investment in a healthy aquatic environment.

Key benefits:

  • Solar-powered autonomy — no recurring electricity costs.
  • Pre-programmed controller and battery guard for safe, efficient operation.
  • Choice of Hiblow pumps for shallow (3.2 CFM) or deep (5.2 CFM) ponds.
  • Complete kit includes diffusers, weighted airline, mounting hardware and a decorative pump enclosure for neat, worry-free installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Hydro-Torque Solar Series 300W kit?

The kit includes one 180W solar panel, an adjustable post mounting bracket, waterproof aluminum IP65 component case, pre-programmed inverter/controller & battery guard, a Hiblow air pump (WG-3 or HP-120LL depending on setup), decorative stone pump enclosure, equipment pad, 100 ft weighted airline, 1 or 2 air diffusers (based on setup), and a 50 ft power cable. Warranties: 3 years on aeration & solar components; 5 years on solar components.

Will this system work for my pond?

The Hydro-Torque 300W is offered in two pump configurations: WG-3 (3.2 CFM) ideal for ponds up to ~7 ft deep and HP-120LL (5.2 CFM) suitable for ponds up to ~12 ft. For best performance, choose the shallow or deep configuration that matches your pond depth and volume. If you’re unsure, call Backyard Bliss at 843-478-7824 for sizing guidance.

Does the system require connection to the grid?

No. The Hydro-Torque Solar Series is fully solar-powered and designed to operate autonomously. It does not require a grid connection for normal operation.

What maintenance is required?

Minimal maintenance: inspect and clean diffusers every 6–12 months, check airline for kinks or debris, wipe solar panel periodically, and inspect seals & battery connections annually. In freezing climates, follow winterization guidance (drain or store pump if necessary).

What warranty coverage is included?

The system includes a 3-year warranty on solar and aeration components and a 5-year warranty on solar components. Warranty terms and conditions apply — contact Backyard Bliss for details.

Can I add extra diffusers or longer airline tubing?

Yes. Additional diffusers and extra lengths of weighted airline can be purchased separately. Contact Backyard Bliss for compatible replacement parts and installation guidance.

How do I mount the solar panel?

The package includes an adjustable post mounting bracket for flexible positioning. Mount the panel in a sunny, unobstructed location with southern exposure (northern hemisphere) for best performance. Ensure the panel is secure and angled for maximum sun exposure year-round.
