Scott North Star Fountain Aerator
Elegant Display Meets Heavy-Duty Aeration for Ponds and Lakes
The Scott North Star Fountain Aerator is the perfect solution for those who want the beauty of a decorative fountain without sacrificing the performance of a high-volume aerator. This versatile unit produces an elegant, trumpet-shaped spray pattern while moving an incredible volume of water—up to 600 gallons per minute—creating a strong surface current that eliminates stagnant water.
By aggressively oxygenating the water and promoting circulation, the North Star helps naturally control algae growth, reduce foul odors, and clear away unsightly surface debris.

Installation Note: The North Star is a floating unit that is easy to install and anchor. It requires a minimum water depth (typically 32" to 42" depending on the model) to operate safely. It is designed to stay in the water year-round; however, in freezing climates, it should be removed or kept running to prevent ice damage.
Maintenance Tip: The oil-free motor design requires virtually no maintenance. Simply check the intake screen periodically to ensure it is free of weeds or plastic debris to maintain maximum flow and spray height.
Enhance Your Experience: Bring your fountain to life at night! Add a Scott Aerator LED Light Set in brilliant white or color-changing options to transform your North Star into the center of attention after the sun goes down.
