RPS’s newest aeration system! If you don’t want a large water feature like a fountain, the AIR200 hides an air stone underneath the surface, aerating from the bottom of your ponds thermoclines. Our RPS engineers spent all year developing a solar powered air compressor kit that is now the most unique technology we’ve found anywhere on the internet to aerate your pond! Easily assembled and installed by one person in a single weekend, lifting no more than 18 lbs at a time. The solar powered air compressor pushes oxygen through a weighted hose down to a bubbling air stone, aerating multiple pond thermoclines with fresh O2. Supported for pond bottoms up to 15 feet deep. For ponds deeper than 15 feet, you can float the air stone at 15 feet and still get great aeration.

Brent G. – Amazing customer service!
Working with the system wasn’t terribly difficult and only required a few calls to the company. Each time they were spectacular! Not only did they know what to tell me, they understood what I was doing, and were totally supportive. I was ever stumped or ran into a dead end
Fountain + Sprinkler Dual Purpose Surface Pump
A two-for-one deal! Our surface pumps are high volume, 45 PSI offering that could alternate between aerating a pond and providing water for sprinklers. A number of our customers water plants around the pond edge, building up natural flora. Water is drawn from the pond using a foot valve (C), bringing cool water to the pond surface and helps further break up pond thermoclines. After the pump outlet, a tee is plumbed (A) as well as two hose bibs. Close the hose bib to the sprinklers when you want to create a fountain for aeration (B). Close the hose bib to the fountain when you want to operate sprinklers.
Filling Pond from Well or Aerating Pond Pump
Filling a pond with a well pump is a popular and fairly simple install. Plumb the well pump to discharge into the pond, being careful to have the pipe outlet above the water level to prevent siphon. You can also pump from a river or spring to a pond with a solar well pump or surface pump.
The second pump in the center of the diagram illustrates a simple install to create a fountain for aeration. This action of drawing water from the bottom of the pond creates a nice upswell to circulate the water in the pond (B). We recommend using centrifugal pumps for these applications as they are designed to move large volumes of water meaning fuller ponds, less algae and more healthy wildlife.

Industry Leading
RPS Never Stops Improving
Our engineering culture runs deep with both our owners. Each winter our engineering team comes together to improve our systems even more. Combining customer feedback and R&D from the year, we improve the model offered for the next year without increasing prices. We love solar and we use these systems ourselves. We hope our passion at RPS for solar well pumps is contagious.
Tradition + Technology = Time
Our customers care deeply about the tradition of creating spaces to enjoy with their families for generations to come. Solar seems to get more popular each year, we think in part because it allows all of us to invest in our time. Less time removing algae and trying to achieve the perfect O2 levels to keep your pond looking great. Healthier fish populations mean more time fishing with the grandkids. At the end of the day that means more time with our families. Amen to that.
RPS Maintains Affordability
With RPS there are no middlemen or distributers so more money stays in your pockets. Systems are self-installed keeping costs down. We honor our veterans (many on our sales team have served) and non-profits with additional % discounts and bulk discounts for larger ranches.
NRCS-ready for most US States
For customers looking to work with NRCS to recoup some of the costs of a solar well pump installation, we are here to help. While we can’t guarantee NRCS approval, we have designed our kits to adhere to every documented requirement. All states are a little different but start with the Request for NRCS Documentation form.
OUR PLEDGES TO YOU
- Be a company our Grandfathers would have trusted. The trend of ‘outsourcing’ customer support after the sale is a trend we wholeheartedly oppose. We are an American, family run company and our USA engineers support you before and after the sale.
- No sales pressure. Ever. Nobody in the company is paid on commission. We think this is important. Their role is to make sure they find the right pump for you and your well. If we don’t have a pump that will suit your needs, we will help you find a solution elsewhere. Our job is to help get you water.
- Reliable Water. All manufactured products have occasional issues and we can’t claim to be perfect. However, we are proud of a near perfect track record in getting our customers water. This starts with selling a pump sized for your usage with our Water Assurance Plan and promptly addressing warranty issues to get you up and pumping again quickly.
- Give you the power! When you control your ability to pump water out of the ground, whether that is in the field or at home, it makes you more resilient and independent. We are here to help educate you about solar water pumping and our systems over the phone, with our manual, and our great videos online, so you can install yourself. Take control of your water supply today.
- Fight for the American rancher. RPS is a David & Goliath story of a small American company fighting against a big European pump corporation that cares more about profits then the longevity of their pumps and the sky-high price for ranchers. Thanks to all our customers for the support of small business vs. foreign corporations trying to profit off some of the hardest working people in our great nation.
