Thank you! This is exactly the type of info I was looking for.

As far as I can tell, no-one makes a 12V DC pump that actually comes with a decent warranty, and is rated for continuous duty. Mostly, they're made for aerating small tanks (e.g., a cooler with fish you've caught) for a short period of time. The advice I've seen is "buy one, and plan to replace it at least every year".

Still, it might be more cost-effective to replace one of these every year than build the much bigger solar power system that would be required for a 120v system.

To back up a bit, my pond-aeration options are more broadly:

This continuous solar powered pump that I'm trying to price out here (maybe ~$800 if I go with the DC pump and 2x 100AH batteries)
A battery-free kit from Missouri Solar that would only operate when the sun was shining ($689 for this one)
A windmill-powered pond aeration pump that'd only work when the wind was blowing. We live in a pretty windy area, so I'd guess that average something like 12-hours per day of aeration, and about 2x the volume, at about 125 LPM vs. these pump's 60 LPM. ($1,335 here.)
Tie in to our well power line that goes about 50' from the pond, and have an electrician install an outdoor outlet so we can plug in a traditional 120v aerator. ($300 for the pump since I'd probably get a bit bigger pump with unlimited power available, plus $?? to have an electrician hook up the power, plus ~$10/mo in electricity costs)

This give me the info I need to have a much better assessment of my options. Thank you!
