Scott Aerator Aerating Fountains

Aerating Fountains

Aerating fountains do much more than add beauty to residential, municipal, and commercial ponds. They introduce oxygen back into the water and circulate it throughout. This process helps maintain water clarity, control algae growth, inhibit insect breeding (such as mosquitos), and create a healthier environment for fish and other aquatic wildlife. Aerating fountains are nearly maintenance free due to the fact they are manufactured with non-stop motors. All that is required of pond owners is filter cleaning.

To determine which aerator is best for your pond, consider its size and proximity to power. Aerating fountains are not one-size-fits-all, so be sure to choose a model rated to the size of your pond. Pond size should be measured by acres and depth. Aerators have both depth requirements and circulation limitations based on horsepower. For example, models with low horsepower will be well suited for small, shallow ponds but not powerful enough to properly circulate larger and deeper bodies of water. Among this selection of aerating fountains, you will find units with ¼-2 horsepower, 15–40-inch pond depth requirements, and capacity to oxygenate ponds 1/8-1 ¼ acre in size. All units are powered by electricity and offer varying cord lengths to span the distance between your pond and a power source.
