Scott Aerator DA-20 Display Fountain Aerator 3HP [14029]
The DA-20 Display Fountain Aerator, with a powerful 3HP motor, is designed to be the perfect solution for large ponds that require robust aeration while also providing a tranquil and beautiful water feature. This efficient and reliable aerator is the ideal choice for pond owners who want both form and function.
The 3-hp DA-20 forcefully moves an impressive 800 gallons of water per minute into an 11-foot-high, 32 feet wide spray pattern.
Improve your pond with the Scott Aerator DA-20 Display Fountain Aerator 3HP. Its impressive flow rate not only enhances the visual appeal, but also eliminates algae buildup, maintains clean water, repels pesky bugs, and adds essential oxygen. Your fish will thrive, pond-bottom debris will be reduced, and decomposition will occur more rapidly, resulting in less muck buildup over time.
The DA-20 boasts a submersible motor made of stainless steel, completely free of oil, making it the most eco-friendly water aerator currently available. Furthermore, there is no need to add or change any oil, and a control box is not required, making maintenance a thing of the past. Installation is also a breeze, requiring only two anchoring ropes and weights or tethers.
Perhaps best of all, the DA-20 is engineered to be left in the water year-round. You'll never need to remove it in fall or re-install in the spring. Simply shut the DA-20 off, allow it to freeze in and forget about it until the thaw. Freezing water does no damage to the DA-20, even in the harshest winter.
