Scott Aerator North Star Fountain Aerator

Scott Aerator North Star Pond Fountain Aerator

The North Star Fountain Aerator enhances the aesthetic of ponds and lakes with its trumpet-shaped design while providing efficient aeration, debris reduction, and effective algae control.

The North Star's strength lies in its ability to move 600 gallons of water per minute, generating a robust surface current that oxygenates the water and eliminates algae and debris. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from commercial to residential to municipal. As an impressive addition to any landscape, the North Star is a top performer.

The Scott Aerator Company has engineered all of its water features to eliminate the need for time-consuming, costly winterizing 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 of the components will withstand sub-zero conditions without damage.
