Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator 1/2HP

Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator 1/2HP

The ½-hp Boilermaker aerator is designed for high oxygen transfer and water flow.

The Boilermaker's low-profile design creates a highly aerated water effect with minimal vertical display, providing optimal pond health. Its high oxygen transfer rates and large water circulation make it a top choice for aeration.

The Boilermaker also serves as a reliable pond de-icer during the winter months. Scott Aerator has designed all of its water features to eliminate the need for expensive and time-consuming winterization products and procedures.

Simply leave your aerator or fountain in the water, turn the power supply off, and forget about it for the winter. Once the water thaws in the spring, re-establish power to the unit and you’re good to go. All components will withstand sub-zero conditions without damage.

The Boilermaker is manufactured utilizing a stainless steel, oil-free, submersible motor, making it the most environmentally friendly water aerator on the market. There's no oil to change, no maintenance required, and no control box needed.

Each Boilermaker comes standard with 70 feet of heavy-duty, 12-gauge, submersible power cord. Greater lengths are also available.
GFCI required. Please disconnect the power source when swimmers are present.
