Buying Guide

Choosing the Right Horsepower

• The size and flow rate of your fountain's spray is influenced by the horsepower you choose. A higher horsepower will move more water, resulting in a larger and/or thicker spray. 

• When it comes to selecting horsepower, it largely depends on your budget and pond size. It is recommended to keep a minimum distance of 10 feet between the fountain spray and the edge of your pond. 

Choosing the Right Voltage

• If you are unsure about which voltage to choose, feel free to contact us for assistance. 

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

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

 

 

 

Choosing the Right LED Lights (Optional)

• LED lights can be purchased now or added later. They simply screw on to the fountain. 

• Lights run on 110V and come with their own power cord.

• Single-color warm white LED lights or color-changing LED lights are available. 
  
  
• Both options come with a programable timer. 

• Color-changing lights come with a remote control that works up to 1,000 feet away.

• For 1 HP and below 2-light sets are recommended.

• For 1.5 HP and 2 HP 3-light sets are recommended.

• For 3 HP 4-light sets are recommended. 

 

Choosing the Right Timers (Optional)

• Timers can be purchased now or added later. 

• Timers are only made to control fountains, not lights.

• Residential and Commercial Timers perform the same function. 
  
  
• Residential timer box is plastic and the commercial box is metal. 

 

 

Unique Additional Nozzles (Optional)

• Important Note:  Scott Aerator Fountain pumps can accommodate all Scott Aerator Nozzles. If you would like a different spray pattern, you can easily purchase a new nozzle.  

• There are 9 unique nozzle options that you can choose from. Each has its own special spray pattern!  

• TIP: Not all nozzles will fit every motor size. Please double-check to make sure your nozzle will fit the appropriate motor horsepower.
