Frequently Asked Questions
The horsepower refers to the strength of the motor. More horsepower will result in a bigger display, as well as increased surface aeration.
If you are looking to make a serious statement, we strongly advise going with a 3 HP motor.
When in doubt, check the fountain sizing guide for our suggestions, or simply give us a call. We're always happy to make a recommendation based on your own unique situation.
The voltage you choose will depend on what type of power source you have set up at your pond.
115V motors will work with any standard residential outlet. But, due to electrical limitations, you will be restricted to no more than a 1 HP motor and 150 FT of power cable.
If you plan to purchase a stronger motor or need more than 150 FT of power cord, you will need to use 230V power.
Typically, this is as simple as swapping out your breaker and outlet receptacle to accommodate the higher voltage.
* Always consult with a licensed electrician.
All of the fountains we carry float in the pond and are anchored in place using nylon rope. The waterproof submersible power cable will run from the fountain's location all the way to your outlet. As long as you already have a power source set up near your pond, installation is very straightforward.
Light kits are not included with the fountains and are sold separately. You can purchase them right away, or add them later if you desire.
We highly recommend them if you want a truly spectacular display! Our customers have consistently expressed that they were worth it.
Scott Aerator fountains are designed to be winter resistant, this makes them virtually maintenance free without any need to remove them from the pond!
When winter arrives, disconnect the power and allow your fountain to freeze inside the water. Once the pond thaws in the Spring, simply reconnect the power and you're good to go!
