LED Lights (Optional)

 

• - Light sets, which can be easily attached to the float, are available for purchase now or can be added later.
  - For fountains with 1.5 HP or less, 2-light sets are recommended.
  - For more powerful fountains of 2 HP and 3 HP, 4-light sets are recommended.

 

 

 

Timers (Optional)

• - Timers, available for purchase now or at a later time, are exclusively designed to control fountains, not lights.
  - In response to a frequently asked question: The primary distinction between the residential and commercial 230V timers lies in their construction materials. The residential timer features a plastic enclosure, while the commercial variant is encased in metal. Functionally, both versions perform identically.

1. Assemble The Unit

Assembly of Scott Aerator Fountains takes 15-20 minutes. Assembly instructions will be included with your fountain. Scott Aerator fountain kits come with the following:

• Pump with cylindrical casing and power cable attached
• Square float platform
• Protective stainless steel filter
• Decorative nozzle (this does not apply to the DA-20)
• 5/16"x2" stainless steel bolts
• Stainless steel nuts & washers
• Self tapping stainless steel screws

 

Tools Needed: You will need a wrench (or socket driver) and pliers. 

 

 

Assembly Steps:

1. - Start the installation by positioning the fountain's housing on a stable surface, ensuring the pump discharge opening is oriented upwards.
   - Attach nylon rope (not provided) to the two stainless steel eyebolts on the housing. These ropes will serve as the anchoring lines for your fountain.
   - Proceed to install the float by aligning it over the housing and fastening it with the provided two 5/16" x 2" bolts, along with the accompanying washers and nuts.
   - Invert the fountain, remove the protective Styrofoam doughnut, and place the stainless steel filter over the pump intake. Make sure the filter's pre-drilled holes align with the corresponding position marks on the fountain housing. Secure the filter using the three self-tapping screws included in the package.

 

2. Attach Lights (If you did not order lights, skip this step)

 

Tools Needed: Wrench & Pliers

 

*Please note: The included timer/control unit is required to operate the lights. Do not remove cord from control unit, this will void the lights' warranty.

Assembly Steps:

1. Attach each arm assembly to the water feature. Be sure to orient the arms with “L” facing upward. Remove one of the 2" bolts attaching the float to your Scott water feature and align the holes with the stainless steel arm. Reinsert the bolt with washer, outward through the housing, float and stainless steel arm. Secure with washer and nut. Repeat for the remaining arm assemblies.
2. Continue by attaching each light to the slotted end of the stainless steel arms. Feed 1/2" x 1/4" bolt downward through each light bracket and steel arm then secure with 1/4" nut. The lights can be positioned along the arm by loosening the lock nut, sliding the light to the desired position, then re-tightening the nut.
3. Connect the lights to the Timer Control Unit by aligning pins and screwing the connector together 1/2 turn only. Do not force the connection tight or you may damage the O-ring or wiring.

 

3. Place in water

• Once the unit is assembled, it is ready to be placed in the water for final preparation and anchoring.
• Care should be used when handling the fountain; it is very important that the weight of the fountain not be placed upon the stainless steel filter.
• Once the fountain head is in the water, attach the fountain head by screwing it into place (this does not apply to the DA-20).
• Float the fountain to the desired position and secure the attached nylong ropes to shore or use 2 concrete blocks submerged at least 20 feet apart.
• The final step is to plug your fountain and lights into your established power source. Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and a licensed electrical contractor to install your power source.

Buying Guide

Choosing Horsepower

• Horsepower will affect the size and flow rate of your fountain's spray. The higher the horsepower, the more water it will move, and the larger and/or thicker the spray will be. 

• Choosing a horsepower will depend on your budget and pond size. This step is largely up to you, but a good rule of thumb is to make sure there is at least 10 feet between the fountain spray and the edge of your pond.

Choosing Voltage

• When in doubt: Give us a call.

• If running 115V power to the edge of your pond, please take note of the maximum distances from pump to breaker (including the power cord you order). 

• If running 230V to the edge of your pond, you generally will not have to worry about distance.
