Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator 3HP

Scott Aerator Boilermaker Surface Aerator 3HP 230v

The Boilermaker from Scott Aerator has a larger motor, resulting in increased oxygen levels, a higher water flow, and a stronger surface current for lakes.

When considering pond health, this floating aerator provides exceptional results through high oxygen transfer rates and a large volume of water circulation. Its improved surface flow allows for maximum oxygen transfer to your water feature.

The design of the Boilermaker allows for a low profile, resulting in a high volume of 'white boil' water that is highly aerated, with minimal vertical display.

The Boilermaker is also effective as a pond de-icer during winter. Similar to all water features from Scott Aerator Company, the Boilermaker eliminates the necessity for expensive and time-consuming winterizing processes and products.

Leave the aerator or fountain in the water during the winter, and simply turn off the power supply. When the water thaws in the spring, you can re-establish power to the unit without any damage to the components, even in sub-zero conditions.
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 100 feet of heavy-duty, 12-gauge, submersible power cord. Greater lengths are available. 
GFCI required. Please disconnect the power source when swimmers are present.
