What is the best way to choose an aerator?
The size and depth of your pond will determine the most suitable type of aerator for your needs. We offer a range of categories on our website based on the size of the pond in acres.
If your pond is less than six feet deep, our Surface Aerators and Aerating Fountains would be the best choice. For ponds that are deeper than six feet, we recommend using a Sub-Surface aerator.
What is the right horsepower choice for a pond aerator?
The right horsepower choice for a pond aerator depends on the size and depth of your pond, as well as the level of oxygenation and circulation you want to achieve. In general, the larger the pond and the greater the desired level of oxygenation, the higher the horsepower should be.
Here are the different horsepowers we carry:

Should I hire someone for my aerator installation?
If you don't already have a power source installed at your pond, it's important to consult with a licensed electrician before proceeding. Our aerators are designed to be easy to install once the power source is ready, and many of our customers have been able to install the equipment themselves without any issues. However, you should consider your own resources and whether you feel comfortable handling the installation on your own. If you prefer, you can also hire a professional to handle the installation for you.
Is it okay to leave my aerator in the water over the winter?
Scott Aerator Pond Aerators are the only type that are able to operate during the winter months. When the weather is cold, you have the option to either run them continuously or turn them off completely. Once the ice melts, you can turn the fountains back on again. These fountains are designed to function in all seasons.
