{"product_id":"gusher-fountain-for-large-commercial-ponds","title":"Scott Aerator Gusher Fountain For Large, Commercial Ponds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gusher Fountain for large commercial ponds drives a single thick column of water high above the surface and lets it fall back in a dense cascade. It is offered with a 2 hp or 3 hp oil-free submersible motor, which puts the column at 40 ft and 50 ft respectively. Concentrating the water this way rather than fanning it out is what lets the display hold its form in open, exposed conditions where a wide thin spray would be pulled apart by wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe height is the visible part; the aeration is the functional part. Lifting water into the air and dropping it back pulls oxygen into the pond, and that oxygen is what supports the breakdown of natural organic material and helps keep the water clear. On a pond large enough to need a 2 or 3 hp pump, that volume of circulation matters as much as the display itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth motors are stainless-steel submersible units, sealed oil-free, turning at 3,450 rpm on 60 Hz single-phase power, with 3-phase and 50 Hz versions available. The 2 hp moves 130 gallons per minute at 10 amps and 1.5 kW; the 3 hp moves 170 GPM at 13.3 amps and 2.2 kW. Neither has oil to change and neither needs a control box installed on shore. Scott Aerator builds the units in Holland, Michigan, and approves them for both fresh and salt water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepth and anchoring scale with the motor, so confirm the site before ordering. The 2 hp requires a minimum of 56 inches of water and two 45 lb weights or concrete blocks; the 3 hp requires 60 inches and two 55 lb weights. Both are tied off with two nylon ropes, and the weights and ropes are not part of the shipment. A 100 ft, 10-gauge submersible cord comes standard with longer lengths available at order time. A GFCI is required, and power should be disconnected whenever swimmers are in the water. A 115 V motor should only be used where the main breaker sits within 100 ft of the fountain. Winter needs nothing beyond shutting off power and leaving the unit in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-free submersible motor and Gusher float assembly in the selected horsepower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 ft, 10-gauge submersible power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: two anchoring weights or concrete blocks, 45 lb each for the 2 hp or 55 lb each for the 3 hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: two nylon anchoring ropes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: LED light sets, orderable with the fountain or added later\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scott Aerator","offers":[{"title":"2 hp 230 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834154123455,"sku":"13209","price":5299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 hp 230 volts \/ 150 feet","offer_id":67834154156223,"sku":"13209.15","price":5516.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 hp 230 volts \/ 200 feet","offer_id":67834154188991,"sku":"13209.2","price":5734.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 hp 230 volts \/ 250 feet","offer_id":67834154221759,"sku":"13209.25","price":5951.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 hp 230 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834154254527,"sku":"13210","price":6599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 hp 230 volts \/ 150 feet","offer_id":67834154287295,"sku":"13210.150","price":6816.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 hp 230 volts \/ 200 feet","offer_id":67834154320063,"sku":"13210.200","price":7034.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 hp 230 volts \/ 250 feet","offer_id":67834154352831,"sku":"13210.250","price":7251.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/1967\/6351\/files\/gusher-3-hp-1920px.jpg?v=1793484857","url":"https:\/\/adventuremotion.com\/products\/gusher-fountain-for-large-commercial-ponds","provider":"Adventure Motion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
