Scott Aerator FAQ's
Scott Aerator products include various cable lengths. For Display Aerators and fountains with a ½‑hp motor, you get a 70‑foot cable, while 1½‑hp models include 100 feet. The Aquasweep dock mount model comes with 50 feet, and the floating version has 35 feet. De‑icer units are supplied with 25 feet on dock mount and slinger models, and 35 feet on the floating model. Light kits (both two‑light and four‑light) include 100 feet of cable, and longer options are available upon request.
Always install your product using a GFCI outlet and disconnect the power whenever swimmers are present to ensure maximum safety.
Aerators are mainly used to control algae, add oxygen, and reduce insect breeding, while fountains are ideal if you’re looking for visual appeal and sound. Choose based on whether your priority is water quality or aesthetics.
Yes, Scott Aerator fountain and aerator products are built for continuous, 24/7 operation, except for the solar-powered models, which are designed for daytime use only.
A unit with a ½‑hp motor typically costs about 8 to 10 cents per hour to run. For 1½‑hp units operating on 230‑volt power, the cost is around 12 cents per hour.
Orders are generally shipped within two to three business days via UPS from our Michigan facility. Delivery times can vary slightly during peak periods, but most orders arrive within a few days.
Scott Aerator products are warranted for five years against motor defects under normal use, and all other components carry a one‑year warranty from the date of purchase. These warranties are valid only for the original owner and are non‑transferable.
Generally, no special permit is needed. However, if you’re uncertain, it’s best to check with your state’s Department of Natural Resources or your local regulatory agency.
Yes, we offer lighting options including LED Night Glo sets and RGB color‑changing kits that can be added at the time of purchase or later.
Installation is simple. Under the flotation device of your unit, you’ll find two eye bolts. Attach nylon ropes (not provided) to these bolts and secure them with a concrete block or boat anchor, placing the weighted ends at least 20 feet apart, or tie them off on shore. If you need further help, please contact us.
Maintenance is minimal. Scott Aerator oil‑free, self‑contained motors and pumps only require an occasional rinse with a garden hose or pressure washer. If you run your unit year‑round, a thorough cleaning every three years is recommended.
All Scott Aerator products are engineered for both fresh and salt water environments, ensuring they perform reliably regardless of water type.
Scott Aerator products are designed to withstand winter conditions without the need for extensive winterizing. Simply leave the unit in the water, turn off the power during winter, and reactivate it once the water thaws. If your unit includes an optional light set, remove the lights before ice forms. We do recommend a full cleaning every three years.
For ½‑hp aerators and fountains, the minimum water depth is 28 inches. For 1½‑hp aerators, at least 38 inches is recommended, and 1½‑hp fountains should be placed in water that’s no less than 42 inches deep.
Scott Aerator products work best in ponds that are 1/8th of an acre or larger.
Typically, 1½‑hp aerators can move up to 600 gallons per minute (gpm) and ½‑hp models up to 400 gpm. For fountains, 1½‑hp units move around 80 gpm, while ½‑hp units circulate about 60 gpm.
Products with a ½‑hp, 115‑volt motor draw roughly 10 amps, while the 230‑volt models draw about 5 amps. The 1½‑hp, 230‑volt units draw approximately 10.6 amps when running.
A 230‑volt motor uses only half the amperage of a 115‑volt unit, making it more energy efficient. Additionally, 230‑volt systems can accommodate longer power cords without compromising performance.
