Common Questions
Q: How do I select a fountain?
A: Your choice depends on your goals: aeration, visual appeal, or both. For aeration or both, we suggest our Aerating Fountains due to their high flow rates. For aesthetics, explore the various display options and ensure your pond meets the minimum depth requirements and that the display size is suitable.
Q: How do I determine the horsepower needed?
A: Horsepower affects the size of the spray pattern. Ensure your pond meets the minimum depth requirements for the selected horsepower and that the spray won't splash the pond's edges. For ponds a quarter acre or larger, choose based on desired appearance and budget.
Q: Is professional installation necessary for my fountain?
A: If there is no power source near the pond, consult a licensed electrician. Fountain installation is simple, and many customers opt to install their own to save costs. Fountains float in the pond, anchored on two sides, and connect to the power source via a submersible cord.
Q: How do I choose between 110-120V and 220-240V?
A: If your power source is over 70 feet from the main breaker, select 220-240V to ensure sufficient power. Confirm that your power source can accommodate higher voltage to prevent inconsistent performance.
Q: Are lights included with the fountain?
A: Lights are not included but can be purchased with the fountain or later. They easily attach to the floating unit and are highly recommended.
Q: Why is the power cord costly?
A: The price reflects the materials used. Depending on the fountain, the power cord is made from 14-gauge to 4-gauge copper or stainless steel wire.
Q: Can I leave my fountain in the water during winter?
A: Scott Aerator Fountains can function in winter. They should either run continuously or be completely turned off during the winter months. Once the water thaws, simply turn them back on.
