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.
