What is ID.me?
An elegant, trumpet-shaped water feature with powerful aeration, debris reduction, and reliable algae control — for small to medium ponds up to 1 acre. Available in 1/2 HP and 3/4 HP.
The North Star adds an elegant, trumpet-shaped water feature to any pond or lake, along with powerful aeration, debris reduction, and reliable algae control. It creates a strong surface current that helps oxygenate the water and eliminate algae and debris — perfect for residential, commercial, and municipal applications.
Like every Scott Aerator product, the North Star requires no time-consuming, costly winterizing. Simply leave it in the water, turn off the power for winter, and restore power once the ice thaws in spring — every component withstands sub-zero temperatures without damage.
A distinctively tall, narrow display that stands out from typical fountain patterns.
No winterizing required — safe to leave in the water year-round.
Suitable for brackish and salt water installations.
Environmentally friendly, water-cooled construction.
Zero ongoing maintenance once installed.
Optional white or color-changing LED lights available now or later.
