Scott Aerator DA-20 Display Fountain Aerator 1/3HP

Scott Aerator Display Fountain Aerator with 1/3HP.

Transform your 3/4-acre or less pond into a serene oasis with the 1/3-hp DA-20 Display Aerator.
This upgraded 1/3-hp version maintains the visual appeal of smaller fountains while also providing a functional purpose. By constantly circulating 300 gallons of water per minute and creating a cascading, trumpet-shaped spray, this model effectively eliminates algae and ensures a clean, insect-free body of water. It also has the added benefit of promoting fish health and preventing muck buildup for a clean pond bottom.

The standard spray pattern of the 1/3 HP model is approximately 5 feet tall and 18 feet wide. For larger patterns and higher flow rates, consider upgrading to a larger motor size.

The DA-20 contains a submersible motor made of stainless steel, eliminating the need for oil and making it an environmentally-friendly water aerator. - This aerator is maintenance-free, as there is no oil to add or change, and no control box is necessary. - Installation is simple, as it only requires two anchoring ropes and weights or tethers.

The best feature of the DA-20 is its capabilities for year-round use. It can be left in the water without any worries of damage, making seasonal removal and re-installation unnecessary. The DA-20 can be shut off in the colder months and left to freeze until thaw without any harm. This includes even the most severe winter conditions.

Made in the USA with pride, the DA-20 comes with an unconditional, 5-year motor warranty. This model is equipped with 70 feet of waterproof, 12-gauge power cable, with the option to order longer lengths and customization.
