{"product_id":"north-star-fountain-aerator-for-small-residential-ponds","title":"Scott Aerator North Star Fountain Aerator for Small, Residential Ponds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe North Star is a fountain aerator, which means it does two jobs at once: it throws a wide, low display pattern that looks like a fountain, and it moves a large volume of water while doing it. This small residential configuration is the entry point in the range, built for backyard and smaller property ponds where the priority is keeping the water healthy without an oversized installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than pushing a narrow jet high into the air, the unit lifts a heavy volume and spreads it out close to the surface. Depending on the motor fitted, that means 300 to 450 gallons per minute moving through the pond every minute it runs. The constant surface turnover brings oxygen into the water and helps hold back the algae and floating debris that build up in still ponds. Three motor sizes are offered, 1\/3 hp, 1\/2 hp and 3\/4 hp, each in 115 V or 230 V, and the spray grows with the motor: roughly 5 feet high by 12 feet wide at 1\/3 hp, 6 by 14 feet at 1\/2 hp, and 8 by 16 feet at 3\/4 hp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe motor is a stainless-steel oil-free submersible unit built for continuous duty, so there is no oil to change, no scheduled maintenance routine, and no control box to install on shore. Fresh water and salt water are both approved, and 3-phase and 50 Hz versions can be ordered in place of the standard single-phase 60 Hz build. Light sets in color-changing LED or Night Glo LED, each in two-light or four-light form, can be specified with the order or fitted at a later date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinter requires no disassembly. Shut off the power, leave the aerator in the pond, and turn it back on when the season changes. The installation does need a GFCI-protected circuit, and power should be cut whenever swimmers are in the water. If the run from the main breaker to the unit exceeds 100 feet, the 230 V motor is the correct choice rather than the 115 V. The units are built in Holland, Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included and What to Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: the aerator unit and a 70 ft submersible power cord, fitted with a plug on 115 V models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied by the installer: two anchor weights or concrete blocks and two nylon anchor ropes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnchor weight sizing: two 20 lb weights with the 1\/3 hp motor, two 25 lb weights with the 1\/2 hp and 3\/4 hp motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional at purchase or added later: color-changing LED and LED Night Glo light sets, in two-light or four-light configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord can be ordered in 70, 100, 150 or 200 ft lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scott Aerator","offers":[{"title":"⅓ hp 115 volts \/ 70 feet","offer_id":67834130235583,"sku":"14018","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"⅓ hp 115 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834130268351,"sku":"14018.1","price":2007.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"⅓ hp 115 volts \/ 150 feet","offer_id":67834130301119,"sku":"14018.15","price":2254.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"⅓ hp 230 volts \/ 70 feet","offer_id":67834130333887,"sku":"14019","price":2014.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"⅓ hp 230 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834130366655,"sku":"14019.1","price":2122.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"⅓ hp 230 volts \/ 150 feet","offer_id":67834130399423,"sku":"14019.15","price":2302.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"⅓ hp 230 volts \/ 200 feet","offer_id":67834130432191,"sku":"14019.2","price":2482.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"½ hp 115 volts \/ 70 feet","offer_id":67834130464959,"sku":"14020.1","price":2127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"½ hp 115 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834130497727,"sku":"14020.100","price":2127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"½ hp 230 volts \/ 70 feet","offer_id":67834130530495,"sku":"14021.1","price":2134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"½ hp 230 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834130563263,"sku":"14021.100","price":2242.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"½ hp 230 volts \/ 150 feet","offer_id":67834130596031,"sku":"14021.1500","price":2422.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"½ hp 230 volts \/ 200 feet","offer_id":67834130628799,"sku":"14021.2000","price":2602.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"¾ hp 115 volts \/ 70 feet","offer_id":67834130661567,"sku":"14135","price":2349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"¾ hp 115 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834130694335,"sku":"14135.100","price":2470.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"¾ hp 230 volts \/ 70 feet","offer_id":67834130727103,"sku":"14135.1","price":2349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"¾ hp 230 volts \/ 100 feet","offer_id":67834130759871,"sku":"14135.1100","price":2457.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"¾ hp 230 volts \/ 150 feet","offer_id":67834130792639,"sku":"14135.1150","price":2637.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"¾ hp 230 volts \/ 200 feet","offer_id":67834130825407,"sku":"14135.1200","price":2817.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/1967\/6351\/files\/north-star-1-2-hp-sunset-1920px.jpg?v=1793484159","url":"https:\/\/adventuremotion.com\/products\/north-star-fountain-aerator-for-small-residential-ponds","provider":"Adventure Motion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
