Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator 1HP

Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator 1HP

The Boilermaker has an increased motor size for improved oxygenation, water flow, and surface current in lakes.

If pond health is your primary consideration, this floating aerator's high oxygen transfer rates and large volume of water circulation make it an ideal selection. Its improved, high-volume surface flow brings maximum oxygen transfer to your water feature.

The Boilermaker's design creates a strong aeration effect with minimal vertical display.

The Boilermaker effectively functions as a pond de-icer during the winter season. Just like other water features from Scott Aerator Company, it eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming winterizing products and procedures.

During the winter, simply leave your aerator or fountain in the water and turn off the power supply. When spring arrives and the water thaws, re-establish power to the unit. The components are designed to withstand sub-zero conditions without any 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.

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