How do I decide between a fountain and an aerator?

While both add aesthetic appeal, aerators are primarily for controlling algae, adding oxygen, and preventing insect breeding. If you prioritize aesthetics and soothing sounds, a fountain may be the better choice.

Do I need an electrician?

A licensed electrician should install a power source if you do not already have one installed by the pond. Our fountains are fairly easy to install once the power source is up and running. With nylon rope and cinder blocks anchored on two sides, and powered by a submersible cord that plugs into a power source at the edge of the pond, our fountains float in the middle of the water. We often have customers who install their own fountains in order to save money. You will need to take into account your available resources.

How do I know which fountain is best for me?

This is the question we receive most frequently, and it carries a lot of weight. We would start by asking: is aeration the goal, or is it aesthetics? Or, do you need both? Consider one of our Aerating Fountains if you're looking for aeration, or both. Compared to aesthetic fountains, they circulate much more water at a much higher rate. In terms of aesthetics, there is a wide variety of options to consider. What it looks like is ultimately up to you. To begin with, make sure your pond meets the minimum depth requirements. Then, make sure your display doesn't exceed the capacity of your pond. Each fountain product page contains display dimensions.

No, lights are not included by default. It is possible to order them simultaneously with your fountain or sometime later. Attaching them to the floating unit is as simple as snapping them on. It is well worth the investment.

Do I need to remove my fontain in the winter?

Scott Aerator Fountains are the only fountains that remain operational throughout the winter. In the winter, either run them continuously or turn them off completely. Once the ice thaws, they can be turned back on.

What warranty does my Scott Aerator come with?

Enjoy a five-year warranty against motor defects and a one-year warranty on all other components under normal operating conditions.

Ho do I change the nozzels?

Nozzels are easly removed and attached by hand.

How long does it take to receive my fountain?

Products normally ship with in a couple days and delivery is, on average, about 5-7 days.

How do I determine the right size and horsepower for my pond’s aerating fountain?

The size and horsepower depend on your pond’s surface area, depth, and intended use. Larger or deeper ponds may require more powerful fountains to achieve proper aeration.
